The 2023-2024 version of OM has a new recruit with international status in its ranks. And not just any team.
He signed for Olympique de Marseille and returned to the selection. This shortcut, certainly advantageous for the Provençal club, sums up Renan Lodi’s situation. The 25-year-old left back made his return to the Brazilian national team during the international break which has just ended.
Renan Lodi started against Bolivia (5-1), on September 9, and in Peru (0-1), last night, during the qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup. Transferred to OM in July, coming from Atlético de Madrid, the native of Serrana had not played with the Auriverde jersey for almost a year, on September 27, 2022 against Tunisia (5-1).
Last March, Renan Lodi remained on the bench during the defeat suffered in Morocco (2-1). The coach’s name was Ramon Menezes. The interim appointed at the beginning of July, Fernando Diniz, seems to be banking on the Olympian player, rather than Ayrton Lucas or Alex Telles, who left for Saudi Arabia.
