In the crosshairs of Olympique de Marseille, Renan Lodi, the Brazilian defender of Atlético Madrid, would be very close to joining the Marseille club. OM could strike a second big blow in the transfer window after the signing of Kondogbia.
On Friday, Revelo revealed OM’s interest in Renan Lodi, the 25-year-old Brazilian left-back under a four-year contract with the Colchoneros. On loan last season to Nottingham Forest, the Seleçao player is on the list of players Diego Simeone wants to part with during this summer transfer window 2023. To sell his defender, Atlético Madrid is considering a dry transfer around 18 million euros. euros, a sum that Olympique de Marseille does not plan to pay. On the side of the Commanderie, we are ready to negotiate a loan with an option to buy for Renan Lodi, but in no case to pay so much. In this case, the main competitor of OM is in Portugal, since it is Benfica.

However, hope must grow on the side of Pablo Longoria and Javier Ribalta to quickly complete the operation and thus offer Marcelino a top-of-the-range defender. Indeed, this Saturday, Ekrem Konur, the Turkish journalist specializing in the transfer window, sends, via his Twitter account, a very clear message in the form of emojis, namely that Renan Lodi will be at Olympique de Marseille ” Soon “. A prediction to be confirmed, knowing that it is not in the habits of the leaders of OM to advance with their faces uncovered on the transfer market, even if in the Kondogbia file it had leaked well before the formalization. Moreover, as we know, Longoria and Ribalta have openings in Spain and have proven it in the past. Seeing Renan Lodi in the OM jersey this season would therefore not be total madness either.
