It is now certain that Arthur Melo is looking for a club and that he will not wear the colors of Juventus Turin in 2024-2025. The new coach, Thiago Motta, quickly removed him from his plans. And the Brazilian is keen to bounce back during the winter transfer window. Courted by OM, Arthur Melo is still in Marseille’s sights. Roberto De Zerbi insists behind the scenes…
After Girona, another La Liga club…
OM must overcome several obstacles to consider the Arthur Melo case. Firstly, it is competition from European clubs which is intensifying behind the scenes. The new kid in the Champions League, Girona, is on the case. And Betis Sevilla have also had their noses on the Brazilian for a few days.
De Zerbi can convince Melo
Financially, OM will also have to show their credentials. Arthur Melo is a big fish. In addition to cleaning up to reduce the payroll and free up a financial margin to convince the Brazilian midfielder, Frank McCourt will also have to perform with Juventus Turin. Not very greedy, the Old Lady wants to get closer to 10 million euros for the transfer. Above all, it will be necessary to convince the player to come to Marseille, with no European Cup to play. This is where Roberto De Zerbi could make all the difference. As with Mason Greenwood or Adrien Rabiot, the Italian can be decisive and convince the Brazilian star to come to his project.
