Mercato Mercato – OM: where is the Veretout track? – Soccer

In search of a reinforcement in the midfield, Olympique de Marseille is working on the recruitment of Jordan Veretout. For the moment, the French international is still far from Marseille.

Olympique de Marseille will complete the arrival of Nuno Tavares in the coming hours. The Arsenal left-back arrived in Marseille on Friday to undergo his medical examination and sign up for a one-season loan. This signing will allow OM to focus on their next priority: the recruitment of a midfielder.

In this position, Marseille appreciates Jordan Veretout (29 years old). Interest in the AS Roma player is nothing new. It has been several months since the former Nantes player has been in the sights of Marseille President Pablo Longoria. For the past few days, it has even been announced as the priority for the Olympians.

Roma ask between 10 and 15 M€

However, L’Equipe affirms that this track is complicated for the vice-champion of France. Indeed, the Louve club needs to sell players to bring cash into the coffers and estimates its player between 10 and 15 million euros. Is OM ready to spend such a sum on this file? A priori, Longoria is in no hurry to align itself with the demands of the Giallorossi…

For now, the Olympian leader is working on other issues while waiting to see if Roma are ready to lower their demands. The Spaniard has often repeated it: the best operations are done late in the transfer window. According to the English media The Athletic, OM came to information for Tanguy Ndombele (25), returning to Tottenham after a six-month loan to Lyon. Without digging this track any further so far.
