Since the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi at Olympique de Marseille, rumors have been sending Manuel Locatelli to the French club. And this could be a real possibility.
Roberto De Zerbi has recently become the new coach of Olympique de Marseille and, in collaboration with Giovanni Rossi, the former sporting director of Sassuolo, the aim is to sign Manuel Locatelli. According to information from Foot Mercato, the player is not against leaving Juventus.. His absence from EURO 2024 with Italy has given him the desire to leave and he wants to be the leader of a new project. He would also like to play again under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi, the coach with whom he played his best football. He has never hidden his admiration for him and his desire to collaborate with him again.
Juventus are not against a departure because they are preparing a real revolution in midfield, with the arrival of Douglas Luiz and the negotiations for Teun Koopmeiners and Khéphren Thuram. Selling Manuel Locatelli could also allow them to recover money and finance the arrival of other players. OM would like to sign him in the form of a paid loan with an option to buy, which would become mandatory under certain conditions. Negotiations will take place in the coming weeks between the two clubs. To be continued…
