Olympique de Marseille is preparing to welcome Luiz Felipe, free of any contract. Roberto De Zerbi, the Marseille coach, confirmed this choice recruit last night, welcoming the management’s initiative.
« We are very happy that he is arriving, he is a good player for us, in terms of his quality, his mentality. He is a very experienced player, used to playing in big clubs with big atmospheres. He will really bring us something, it’s a very beautiful thing for us”De Zerbi said at the DAZN microphone.
Luiz Felipe, Italian international central defender (one selection), is expected in Marseille in the coming hours to finalize the last details of his contract. Although lacking pace, he should be ready to take the field again within a few weeks.
This signing is all the more notable as the player was coveted by several Serie A heavyweights, such as Naples, AC Milan and Juventus according to The Press. Ultimately, it was Marseille who were able to convince Luiz Felipe, a choice which would have been influenced by the presence of Roberto De Zerbi on the Olympian bench. A great operation by Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia.
