Olympique de Marseille seems ready to welcome a new recruit into its ranks. Among the players targeted to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi’s team this winter, one name comes up repeatedly: that of Danilo, experienced Juventus defender. Discussions are progressing, and a key element could allow OM to quickly finalize this file.
Danilo, put on the market by Thiago Motta
According to information reported by TMWJuventus coach Thiago Motta has confirmed that Danilo is no longer part of his plans. Asked about the absence of the Brazilian captain during the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, Motta said: “We have been clear, this is a decision taken for the good of everyone, including his own. »
This disengagement on the part of Juventus opens the door to a transfer this winter. Danilo, who now expects to be released from his contract, is actively followed by OM, but also by Naples. However, the links between the Brazilian and the Marseille club seem particularly strong.
This is not OM’s priority target
Danilo is not the only Serie A player closely followed by Olympique de Marseille. The versatile Nicola Zalewski, currently at AS Roma, is also on the Marseille club’s shelves. With the objective of strengthening the workforce to achieve European ambitions, OM is exploring several avenues.
OM could still strike a big blow this winter if they manage to complete the Danilo file. While Thiago Motta has marked the end of his adventure at Juventus, the Auriverde defender seems to have every chance of settling down at the Vélodrome. The next few days could be decisive.
