A rumor sending Lucas Digne to OM has gained momentum on social networks in recent hours. But there is currently no contact between the Aston Villa defender and the Olympian club.
Roberto De Zerbi would like to strengthen his squad during the winter transfer window and the Olympique de Marseille coach has clearly identified the defensive sector as the main project for the month of January. Rather satisfied with his midfield and his attack, the Italian coach is on the other hand more doubtful regarding the quality of his defenders. In an ideal world, Roberto De Zerbi would like to bring in a right back, a central defender and a left back. To compete with Quentin Merlin, an unexpected rumor has fueled social networks in recent hours.
OM would be interested in Lucas Digne, starter at Aston Villa and returning to the French team at the end of 2024. A very ambitious track with a player firmly established in the Premier League and under contract with the Villans until June 2026… who does not doesn't really make sense according to Bryan Bellardant. On his X account, the journalist from Telegram has firmly denied the information according to which Olympique de Marseille is negotiating the transfer of Lucas Digne in January.
The Lucas Digne rumor already denied
“No discussions between Lucas Digne and OM. Despite the rumors, there are currently no discussions between Lucas Digne and Marseille according to his agent. our colleague said. The track for number 12 of Aston Villa is therefore not relevant for the Olympian club, even if his arrival would obviously have pleased Roberto De Zerbi and the Marseille supporters given the quality of the player. A priori, we should not count on a reinforcement of this stature at the left-back position, where Quentin Merlin finished well in 2024. In this position, the hottest track leads to Nicola Zalewski, at the end of his contract in next June and for whom a transfer this winter is possible due to the excellent relations between AS Roma and Olympique de Marseille.
