The Arthur Melo file is gaining momentum in the next OM transfer window! Marseille management finally has an idea of the price to put on the table to secure the services of the Brazilian midfielder
Mercato OM: Mehdi Benatia finally knows the price to pay for Arthur Melo
Olympique de Marseille seems to have found a balance in midfield. The association of Valentin Rongier, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Adrien Rabiot in the midfield was decisive in the victory in Lens (3-1). However, OM does not intend to stop there and is seeking to further strengthen this sector.
Under the leadership of Mehdi Benatia, Marseille management is already looking into the transfer market with a view to finding an additional midfielder this summer. Two names keep coming back for this position. If the profile of Paul Pogba seduced, that of Arthur Melo cannot be excluded.
The Brazilian international, lacking playing time at Juventus, would be an ideal target for OM, according to Livefoot. The Old Lady would even be open to a departure from Arthur Melo and would demand 15 million euros for his transfer during the winter transfer window. A significant price for the finances of OM.
Olympique de Marseille will have to sell two players
The source indicates that Olympique de Marseille should part ways with two players this winter in order to complete this transfer. Chancel Mbemba and other elements like Bamo Meité or Pol Lirola could pay the price for this operation.
The question now is whether OM will manage to find the right buyers to free up the funds necessary for the recruitment of Arthur Melo. Such an arrival would also put an end to the rumors concerning Paul Pogba and would considerably strengthen the Marseille squad. Nothing has been decided yet. Marseille leaders will have to make the right choices to build a competitive and ambitious team.
