OM are visibly determined to strike a big blow during the winter transfer window. The president Pablo Longoria would have even already taken action for the versatile Juventus defender, Danilo.
Mercato OM: Pablo Longoria is already on the offensive for Danilo
The winter transfer window promises to be very hectic for Olympique de Marseille. After a summer marked by the arrival of a dozen recruits, President Pablo Longoria does not intend to stop there. His priority? Strengthen a defense which showed some weaknesses at the start of the season.
And if the name of Kiliann Sildillia comes back insistently to solidify the left lane, another much more surprising track has just emerged. Indeed, the Juventibus website reports that OM recently sent an offer to Danilo, the versatile Juventus defender. In difficulty in Turin where he failed to win under the orders of Thiago Mottathe Brazilian international would be open to a departure.
Other clubs remain in ambush
With his contract expiring next June, Danilo could be released during the season. He is said to have taken steps to terminate his lease with the Old Lady. OM, which seeks to strengthen its rearguard without spending astronomical sums, sees this as a golden opportunity. Capable of playing in central defense or on the sides, the experienced Brazilian would bring his know-how and versatility to a sector of play that needs it.
However, Olympique de Marseille is not alone on this issue. In difficulty at Juventus, Danilo would also have received offers from his native country. The competition therefore promises to be tough to secure the services of the 33-year-old player.
