L'Marseille Olympic is definitely on all fronts during this month of January. The Marseille club could experience a very lively last week of the transfer window behind the scenes. Particularly for its defensive sector, where several players are likely to leave.

If Lilian Brassier or Chancel Mbemba were pushed out, a more unexpected departure could take place: that of Leonardo Balerdi. Despite his status as captain, the Argentinian international is not completely unanimous on the pitch. His seniority speaks for himself, but his leadership is also called into question.

Balerdi courted in Italy

In this context, a sale of Balerdi before the close of the winter transfer window is not an option to be completely ruled out, although this is not the current trend. And the Argentine defender has no shortage of courtiers in Europe, as indicated by the Italian press.

According to information from Il Messaggero, Balerdi is on the shelves of AS Roma. The sporting director of La Louve, Florent Ghisolfi, is said to be trying to attract the captain of Olympique de Marseille. As a reminder, Balerdi is linked to the Marseille club until 2028.
