OM will undoubtedly be one of the teams to follow next winter during the transfer market. Roberto De Zerbi particularly wants the arrival of a new midfielder.
Roberto De Zerbi is not completely satisfied with the squad he has at his disposal. The Italian knows that to carry out his project, a few elements will have to arrive during the next transfer window. Next winter, OM's idea will be to recruit a new experienced midfielder. For several days, the name of Paul Pogba has been announced on the Canebière. Now free from any contract after terminating with Juve, the 2018 world champion does not favor an arrival in Marseille. According to The Teamthe French international wants to return to the Premier League. If he fails to do so, he will then listen to offers from MLS and Saudi Arabia. Difficult in these conditions to fight for an OM which does not have unlimited means. But the residents of the Stade Vélodrome already have another name in mind. And it is prestigious.
OM going all out on Arthur Melo
In recent hours, the Italian press has in fact affirmed that OM is currently the team best placed to secure the services of Arthur Melo. The Brazilian is left on the sidelines of Thiago Motta's project and is looking for a new challenge. A loan with or without a purchase option would also suit the Old Lady. The affair could therefore suit all parties. Concerning Arthur Melo, he would undoubtedly be keen to prove his value in Roberto De Zerbi's project, after having experienced a lot of failures in his career. His objective is also to find the Brazilian selection, while the 2026 World Cup is fast approaching. Note that in addition to OM, Brazilian clubs are also in the process of repatriating Melo. The Phocaeans will therefore have to close the deal quickly.
