Building on an ambitious summer transfer window, supplemented by the free arrival of Rabiot in September, Olympique de Marseille occupies 3rd place in Ligue 1 after 12 days. And to realize its ambitions, the Marseille club seems determined not to skimp on resources.
According to La Gazzetta dello SportOM would be on the verge of recruiting a new midfielder: Nicolo Fagioli. The Italian sports daily reports that the Marseille club is now in pole position to attract the Italian international this winter, ahead of Naples in this race.
A versatile profile for OM
Starting 5 times in 14 matches under the direction of Thiago Motta, Fagioli does not seem to have the full confidence of his coach. The latter would not be against a departure of the 23-year-old player, whose transfer could finance the arrival of defensive reinforcement.
If he arrives in Marseille, Fagioli would bring depth and versatility to the Marseille midfield. Note that the native of Plaisance has the versatility necessary to play both a defensive and offensive midfielder role.
