It will be time to unravel for Olympique de Marseille. New sporting director of the southern club after the formal departure of Medhi Benatia, Grégory Lorenzi confirmed that he intended to instill a new philosophy in the group planned for next season. Probable arrivals, and therefore departures to come. Emerson Palmieri’s is growing thicker.
If he still has one year left on his contract, plus an optional year, the player who arrived from West Ham last summer for 700,000 euros could therefore leave Marseille a little earlier than expected.
“I stay if the club wants me”he declared again recently. But not sure that the Marseille management really wants it.
In any case, Emerson Palmieri seems to have attracted the interest of certain transalpine teams. According to La Gazzetta dello SportJuventus would be one of them. This Monday, the Italian sports daily confided that the “Old Lady” would even be very interested in the qualities of the 31-year-old Brazilian full-back.
Palmieri finally ready to leave OM?
This season, the man who also played for Chelsea during his career took part in thirty-seven matches for Olympique de Marseille. During his 2,813 minutes of effective time spent on the pitch, he notably provided three assists (all in Ligue 1).
If he were to leave Marseille for Turin, the Brazilian would find his former Roma coach, Luciano Spalletti, there. And always after La Gazzettathis last point would have changed Emerson Palmieri’s mind who now says he is ready to leave OM to cross the Alps.
