a huge new defensive move in the pipeline?

OM continues its activity on the transfer market by visibly targeting promising young talents, with the hope of concluding these files by February 3. Among them, Renato Veiga, a 21-year-old Portuguese left defender playing for Chelsea, is at the heart of the discussions. Capable of also playing in the center, Veiga is of interest to several clubs, notably Lazio and Borussia Dortmund, but OM wish to recruit him permanently according to journalist Alfredo Pedulla.

Difficult to recruit him definitively?

Recruited last summer by Chelsea from FC Basel, Veiga is struggling to establish himself, and his playing time remains limited. While the London club would favor a loan, the Marseille leaders see in him an ideal opportunity to bring youth and versatility to their defense. But the file still promises to be complicated, the BVB having notably been announced a step in advance.

After the arrival of Luiz Felipe, OM plans to restructure its defensive sector, which could lead to departures, with players like Chancel Mbemba, Lilian Brassier and Bamo Meïté among the potential starters. Negotiations with Chelsea continue, but interest from other European clubs could complicate discussions.
