Olympique de Marseille seems well placed to recruit Nicolo Fagiolithe young Juventus midfielder, valued between 25 and 30 million euros. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi would particularly appreciate the player's profile and would like to integrate him into his project. Despite growing interest from PSG, Napoli and several Premier League clubs, OM seem in a good position to carry out this operation.
Fagioli towards OM?
Juventus, keen to make added value on a player trained at the club, could agree to let Fagioli leave during the winter transfer window. The recruitment of the Italian international would represent quality reinforcement for the Marseille environment, particularly in the quest for a balance between solidity and creativity. However, the club's priority seems above all to strengthen the defense…

Another midfielder, Fagioli?
While Napoli closely follows Fagioliit is the Marseille club which seems to have taken a head start in attracting the 23-year-old midfielder. Juventus, for their part, are considering selling Fagioli in order to finance a defensive reinforcement this winter. Bremer is injured for the season following a ruptured cruciate knee ligament. This sale could be used to increase the budget of the Old Lady and allow him to recruit a player capable of strengthening his defensive sector, which has become a priority for the Bianconeri.
For OM, this transfer remains surprising without departures at this position, because the midfielder is well stocked. However, Fagioli, who has played 10 Serie A matches and who has a contract until 2028, is a player with an interesting profile. The Italian international (7 selections) works with the agency CAA Stellarhe could be a recruit of choice to bring creativity to the Olympian midfield.
The winter transfer window therefore promises to be an exciting one, and the transfer of Nicolo Fagioli could be one of the key moves to watch in January 2025, with OM and Napoli ready to engage in a fierce battle to attract the Italian international from 23 years old.
