Roberto De Zerbi is a perfectionist. Eager to strike hard, the Italian has already spotted a weak point in his team, namely the defense. Reason why he would have requested reinforcements in this sector from his leaders according to information from L'Equipe. His desire would be to recruit three new players, namely a right back, a right central defender and a left central defender. For the first named position, OM would have resumed discussions with Friborg for Kiliann Sildillia. Discussions which would progress well for a player under contract until 2026 and who had not been insensitive to Olympian interest last summer.
De Zerbi wants three recruits in defense!
Another Marseille target: Danilo. Able to play in central defense but also in the center, the Brazilian is at the end of his contract next June and the suitors would be more interested in the idea of waiting for this date to sign him. However, Marseille could use its good relations with Juventus to try it this winter. This would obviously be viewed favorably by the Old Lady, who would have the opportunity to recover transfer compensation. At the right center position, De Zerbi would like to recruit a solid understudy to Leonardo Balerdi who is considered too comfortable. Who says arrivals also means sales and according to the sports daily, Amir Murillo, Chancel Mbemba, Bamo Meïté would be on the departure while Derek Cornelius or Lilian Brassier could also be pushed out. Loans could thus be negotiated for arrivals and departures would be welcome. Business to follow.
