Leonardo Balerdi is one of the leaders of Olympique de Marseille. However, the Argentine is going through a somewhat complicated period due to his repeated statements about refereeing.

This does not prevent the former Borussia Dortmund resident from remaining a popular element on the transfer market. And this Friday, The Messenger assures that a Serie A team has fallen for the Marseillais. This is AS Roma. Unsurprisingly, it is the French sporting director of the Giallorossi, Florent Ghisolfi, who is at the origin of this track.
A track for this summer
A fine connoisseur of Ligue 1, the former leader of RC Lens and OGC Nice has already come to France (Enzo Le Fée). According to the transalpine media, the Romans are studying the Balerdi solution in the event of a big departure, in particular that of Evan Ndicka, whose name circulates a lot in the Premier League. However, the path leading to the Olympian captain is far from easy for the Louve club.

The Italian newspaper specifies that Roma estimates Balerdi, whose contract runs until 2028, at least €20 million. A sum which remains substantial for the team which is in ninth place in the Serie A ranking. Finally, if this Roman interest is confirmed, it remains to be seen whether Balerdi will be tempted to leave OM, especially if Roberto De’s team Zerbi manages to qualify for the next Champions League.
