Close to joining OM during the last summer transfer window, Kiliann Sildillia would not be the number one priority of Mehdi Benatia and Roberto De Zerbi at Olympique de Marseille for January according to Footmercato.
And if the name of Kiliann Sildillia is strangely mentioned on the OGC Nice side for this winter, the same source informs us that the price requested by SC Friborg for the French international hopeful right-back would be €12M.
A great opportunity for OM to seize, when we know Kiliann Sildillia was valued at more than €15M last summer by the Bundesliga team.
However, Mehdi Benatia and Roberto De Zerbi seem to give their preference to the profile of Danilo, considered more experienced.
At the end of his contract in six months with Juventus Turin, Danilo should ultimately not join SSC Naples this winter and the experienced 33-year-old Brazilian international central defender or right side would be eagerly courted by OM.
Better yet, Roberto De Zerbi would absolutely like to see the former Manchester City player who has 65 caps with Brazil land in Marseille mid-season.
A possible deal because Thiago Motta surprisingly no longer counts on him at the Bianconeri, but also because Mehdi Benatia and Pablo Longoria still maintain excellent relationships with the Juventus board.
With a little help from Adrien Rabiot to convince his former teammate to come join him in the Old Port? To be continued!
