Olympique de Marseille plans to strengthen its defense during the winter transfer window. After acquiring twelve players this summer, the Marseille club hopes to add three new recruits to its squad. Roberto De Zerbi, the coach, particularly wants a right back, as well as a right and left central defender.
Among the players targeted by Marseille, Danilo, currently at Juventus, particularly attracts attention. The Italian club could consider selling the Brazilian player, whose contract expires soon, to obtain a transfer fee. However, Danilo has other prospects for his future.
Selon le Corriere dello Sport, Danilo does not see his future in Marseille, but rather in Naples for the second half of the season. The 33-year-old defender has already given his agreement to the leaders of Napoli, thus complicating OM's plans.
Juventus and Napoli have yet to agree on transfer terms. Juventus wants to obtain adequate transfer compensation. Al-Nassr, the Saudi club where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, is also interested in Danilo, but it seems that the player has made up his mind.
Despite the interest of Al-Nassr and OM, Danilo favors a transfer to Napoli. This preference leaves the Marseillais in a delicate position, their main target having chosen another destination. Negotiations between Italian clubs promise to be crucial to finalizing this potential transfer.
