Olympique de Marseille have been making impressive recruitment efforts since the beginning of the summer. After securing the services of Roberto De Zerbi as coach, the Marseille club’s management have managed to poach players such as Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
President Pablo Longoria and his sports advisor Mehdi Benatia do not seem to want to stop there. According to
The Sports Gazettethey would be on the verge of obtaining the loan of Valentin Carboni from Inter Milan. An operation estimated at two million euros, with a purchase option of forty million.
Carboni to OM with a buyout clause for Inter?
A 19-year-old left-sided attacking midfielder, this dual Italian-Argentine national made his international debut on March 26 with the Albiceleste, in a friendly match against Costa Rica. The Nerrazzuri could include a buyout clause, valued at 45 million euros.
While waiting to finalize the Carboni operation, OM continues its preparation. The Marseille club followed up with a second win in a row in a friendly match last Saturday against Pau FC (3-0), a team that plays in Ligue 2. Three days earlier, they had dominated Toulon, by the same score. On Saturday, Roberto De Zerbi’s men will challenge Sunderland.
