As the winter transfer window approaches, OM management is looking towards Italy to strengthen itself. Mehdi Benatia is even on track to complete the signing of the Juventus midfielder, Nicolo Fagioli.
Mercato OM: Mehdi Benatia in pole position to recruit Nicolo Fagioli
While Olympique de Marseille, under the leadership of Roberto DeZerbiaims to establish itself as a major player in European football, the winter transfer window promises to be crucial. To strengthen an already promising squad, Marseille leaders are already prospecting in Serie A. Especially since the privileged relationships maintained by Pablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia with Juventus facilitate negotiations.
Moreover, OM management would have targeted several Turin players, including Arturo Melo and Danilo. But it is Nicolo Fagioli who seems close to joining Marseille in January. The young Italian midfielder, lacking playing time at Juve, presents an interesting profile. His technique and vision of the game could bring a new dimension to the Marseille game.
Several major European clubs, such as Napoli and PSG, are also said to be interested. However, the Gazzetta dello Sport assures that it is indeed OM which would be in pole position to secure the services of Nicolo Fagioli. It remains to be seen whether Mehdi Benatia and his team will be able to complete this file, which will require a significant financial investment. Nicolo Fagioli's price is estimated at more than 20 million euros.
