Olympique de Marseille could experience a particularly turbulent end to the winter transfer window, with several players likely to leave the club. Among them, Lilian Brassier, central defender on loan from Brest, seems to be first in line for a departure.
Announced about departure several weeks ago, Lilian Brassier now attracts the desire of several European clubs, including a top Serie Athe Juventus.
Juventus in the mix for Brassier?
The information was revealed by Tuttosportaccording to which the Juventus FC would have a pronounced interest in the French defender. The Juventus coach, Thiago Mottahas been following Brassier for a long time and would be seduced by his profile as a left-handed defender, ideal for strengthening the defensive axis of the Old Lady. Motta, former coach of Bolognawould have closely observed the performances of Brassier, a player he particularly appreciates for his ability to get involved in the construction of the game.

The Juventus is therefore considering strengthening its defense, and Brassier would be an interesting option for the future. OM, for their part, seems determined to sell the player during this winter transfer window. The Marseille club would like to exercise the option to purchase its loan and then resell it, with the hope of recovering a good amount in return.
A difficult start to the season at OM
Lilian Brassier had the opportunity to prove her worth during the match against Strasbourg Sunday, after the package of Amir Murillo. Although he offered a decent performance, his start to the season at OM was not convincing, particularly due to his handling of pressure from Velodrome. His performances in Ligue 1 have not completely convinced Marseille management, who are now considering parting ways with the defender.
-Other possible departures from OM
Brassier's departure should not be the only one this winter at OM. Indeed, several players could follow the same trajectory. Elye Wahithe French striker who arrived this summer, failed to establish himself as a key element of OM's playing system. There are rumors of interest from foreign clubs, and an offer of around 30 million euros could encourage Marseille to let the striker leave.
Other players like Amine Harit or Ismaël Koné could also leave OM in the event of interesting proposals. The two players, who have not always started this season, are on the radars of several European clubs. Their future could be decided based on the offers that arrive during this winter transfer window.
