In search of reinforcements for the winter transfer window, Olympique de Marseille is closely interested in Nicola Zalewski, versatile player from AS Roma. At 22 years old, the Polish international, at the end of his contract next June, could represent a strategic opportunity for the Marseille leaders.
A promising profile to energize the left lane
Able to play as a full-back, piston or left winger, Zalewski displays valuable versatility. Despite a mixed first half of the season in Rome, with 15 appearances and 2 assists, he remains a regular starter in Serie A and a pillar of the Polish national team (27 caps). According to information from ReliefAS Roma, keen to avoid a free departure this summer, would be willing to discuss a transfer this winter.
For OM, his profile fits perfectly into the project of Roberto De Zerbi, who seeks to solidify his left lane, weakened by the possible departures of Pol Lirola, Lilian Brassier or Bamo Meïté. The arrival of Zalewski could also create healthy competition with Quentin Merlin, another young hope in this position.
European competition to overcome
If Marseille is proactive, other European clubs are also monitoring the Pole's situation with a view to next summer. However, an early offer from January could make the difference, allowing OM to secure a dynamic and experienced player at a crucial moment of the season.
By recruiting Zalewski, Marseille would strengthen their defensive options while adding depth and quality to their squad. An asset which could prove decisive in the fight for European places and the club's repositioning in Ligue 1.
