What if after having brought Adrien Rabiot into its ranks, and while perhaps waiting to convince Paul Pogba to arrive at the Vélodrome, OM were going to look for another renowned player free of any commitment? The hypothesis is more than real since we are talking about the possible commitment of Arthur Melo with the Marseille team.
The man who has 22 caps with the Brazilian national team has been without a club since leaving Fiorentina last summer. His agent, Fédérico Pastorello, has just indicated that Marseille is among the likely destinations during the next transfer window.
“In January, we are looking for a new team. A future at OM? It was possible this summer, he would fit well into Roberto De Zerbi’s system”he confided in comments reported by Gianluca Di Marzio.
OM must weigh the pros and cons
This news is enough to rejoice the supporters of the Olympian team. Aged 28, Melo has a business card that speaks for him. During his career, he wore the colors of several major European clubs, such as Liverpool, Barcelona and Juventus.
It remains to be seen what form this player will be in after six months of inactivity. If he ends up really committing to Marseille. This is far from being a certainty at the moment.
