Roberto De Zerbi is satisfied to be able to count on an additional midfielder in the person of Valentin Rongier. Injured for a long time last season, the former OM captain is back. And in what way! Against RC Lens, Rongier was excellent. Scorer, the midfielder was also the conductor of a match where he was elected man of the match. This bodes well for the rest of the 2024-2025 season.
De Zerbi does not let go of Arthur Melo
At 21, Nico Williams has established himself as one of the most coveted talents in Spain. His speed and ability to unbalance defenses appeal to the biggest European clubs, including FC Barcelona. For his part, Ademola Lookman, already performing well in Serie A with Atalanta, offers a more experienced and decisive alternative, thanks to his versatility and sense of goal. With one or the other, PSG would add a real weapon to its offensive arsenal.
Juventus agree to negotiate
For Arthur Melo, there are people. OM is in competition with South American teams, Corinthians and Gremio in the lead. The Brazilian international, who no longer enters Thiago Motta's plans, is heading towards the exit. And according to journalist Rudy Galetti, OM contacted Juventus for Arthur Melo. An amount of 15 million euros is hoped for by Turin leaders. On the Marseille ropes if Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia manage to force out Chancel Mbemba and another Marseille player.
