Pablo Longoria has kept his contacts in Italy, and the president of Olympique de Marseille has a very strong interest in a young Italian international goalkeeper.
OM have decided to entrust Geronimo Rulli with the role of starting goalkeeper, the Argentinian goalkeeper having Jeffrey de Lange in his shadow. However, on the Marseille side, we remain on the lookout for a possible big blow, and if we are to believe TuttosportPablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia have an eye on Renato Marin, Italian U19 international goalkeeper currently under contract with AS Roma. Born in Brazil, Renato Marin has a dual passport, and on the Italian side, we are convinced that the native of Sao Paulo can quickly become a first choice after Gianluigi Donnarumma in the cages of the Squadra Azzurra. It is in this context that the 18-year-old goalkeeper is being followed by Olympique de Marseille, even though he will be free at the end of the season and Renato Marin has not yet extended his contract with Roma.

The Italian sports media reveals that in addition to OM, the Italian goalkeeper is also followed by Liverpool and Juventus, two clubs which also believe in the great potential of Renato Marin in the more or less long term. Geronimo Rulli being linked until 2027 with Olympique de Marseille, the arrival of the young Italian next season is therefore not impossible, especially since in recent seasons Pablo Longoria has never given the slightest gift to his goalkeepers beginning. It is not Steve Mandanda and Pau Lopez who will say the opposite. It is also possible that Roberto De Zerbi slipped a little word to his leaders about his young compatriot, which could then clearly accelerate the movement.
