OM's interest in Arthur Melo is confirmed but to secure the services of the Brazilian midfielder from Juventus Turin, it will be necessary to drop 15 million euros during this winter transfer window.
Saturday in Lens, Roberto De Zerbi may have found the winning formula for Olympique de Marseille in midfield by combining Rongier, Hojbjerg and Rabiot. The three men shone in the North, contributing largely to Marseille's new away success. However, the Marseille club is still considering recruiting one more midfielder this winter since from now on, Geoffrey Kondogbia is a defender in the mind of his coach. Ismaël Koné is patient on the bench but for the moment, the Canadian international is not giving satisfaction, which is why OM is thinking of Paul Pogba but also of Arthur Melo.
And according to information from Live Footthe track for the Brazilian international from Juventus Turin is still hot in Marseille. The Old Lady is open to the departure of its 28-year-old midfielder, under contract until June 2026 and would demand a check for 15 million euros to sell him during the winter transfer window. A significant sum but not beyond the reach of Marseille's finances according to the media, which explains that OM could agree to meet Juventus' requirements to recruit the former Fiorentina midfielder. There are, however, a few conditions to this and the first will be to sell in January before you can buy.
OM must sell to recruit Arthur
Live Foot indicates that Marseille will have to part with Chancel Mbemba and a second player in order to be able to invest in Arthur Melo without putting themselves in the red financially. Players like Brassier, Meité, Garcia or even Lirola will not be selected in the event of a good offer this winter. The question now is whether Marseille will manage to part ways with two players, which would then unlock the potential arrival of Arthur Melo. The signing of the Brazilian would also put an end to the Paul Pogba file, whose name continues to circulate with insistence in the Marseille city.
