OM has made Leonardo Balerdi the Taulier of his defense this season. And even if the Argentinian is always irregular, his profile pleases many European clubs starting with AS Roma, which is on the lookout.
Last summer, Olympique de Marseille officially made Leonardo Balerdi the boss of his defense. First by upgrading the Argentinian international with an extension until 2028 but also by entrusting him with the captain's armband. New responsibilities that do not completely succeed in the former Borussia Dortmund player, who breathes hot as against Lille in the French Cup with a successful performance and then the cold, like his match three days later against Strasbourg. Irregular, the 25 -year -old defender is nonetheless appreciated in Europe.
And as proof, he Messaggero affirms that AS Roma is very interested in a potential transfer of Leonardo Balerdi in the future, especially in the event of the departure of Evan Ndickka, who is the rating in the Premier League. But financially, the gap may be colossal between what Roma is ready to put on the table and the financial requirements of Olympique de Marseille. Indeed, the Louve club values Leonardo Balerdi at around 20 million euros according to the Italian media. A ridiculous sum for OM, which is not a seller anyway with regard to his best defender, and especially not for such a low price.
-Rome interested in Balerdi, OM is not a seller
The Olympian supporters do not come back to see such a low valuation for their captain. “Rather in summer, go why not, 35-40 million euros it can spin, but in any case not this winter it's out of the question”, “50 million euros and we bring it to the airport “,” 40 million minimum ” or “35/40 by selling it well I think right?” »» Can we read on X, where we hope that in the event of sale, Olympique de Marseille will claim more than double compared to the sum proposed by AS Roma during this month of January. Medhi Benatia and Pablo Longoria, who recruited Luiz Felipe and who are looking for one more defender this winter to expand the workforce, did not plan to separate from the Argentinian anyway … except of course if a club Arrives with an offer significantly higher than that of Roma.
