Lodi signed, pending Aubameyang?

Arrived in Marseille this Friday, Renan Lodi has officially committed to OM.

OM have their second summer recruit after the transfer of Geoffrey Kondogbia from Atlético de Madrid. It is once again with the Matelassiers that the Marseille leaders have agreed to hire the services of Renan Lodi. The 25-year-old left-back defender signed his contract on Friday after passing the medical examination.

” In three seasons (at Atlético, editor’s note), Renan Lodi played 118 matches, including 27 in the Champions League and won the 2021 Spanish championship title. In 2022, on loan in the Premier League to Nottingham Forest, he played 32 matches. He is also called up by the Brazilian national team in 2019. In the auriverde jersey which he wears 16 times, the left-back notably reached the final of the 2021 Copa America, an unfortunate finalist against Argentina. “Summarizes OM in a press release.

The Olympians transfer window is far from over. In addition to one or two other defensive reinforcements expected in the corridors, Marseille must fill in their offensive sector, even independently of the decision to extend – or not – Alexis Sanchez. Agree with Sheffield United striker Iliman Ndiaye, OM have yet to come to terms with the Premier League-promoted club. Another offensive track appeared this Friday, according to the Spanish media Relevo.

Under contract with Chelsea until June 2024, the 34-year-old Gabonese striker remains on a complicated season with the Blues (3 goals in 21 matches). It is estimated today at 4 million euros on the specialized site Transfermarkt but such a transaction would only be possible for OM in the event of a significant effort by the player on his emoluments.
