The Olympique de Marseille is actively looking for a central defender and turns to Renato Veiga, a 21-year-old Portuguese player currently playing at the Juventus. According to sources, Veiga gave his consent to join the Atlético de Madrid, seduced by their sports project. The Atlético, which seeks to strengthen its defence after several departures, intensified its discussions with the club Chelsea, owner of the player. Chelsea estimates Veiga at about 35 to 40 million euros and would be open at the start, given the player’s lack of playing time. Other clubs such as Bayern Munich and several Premier League teams are also interested in Veiga’s versatile profile, capable of evolving in central, left side and defensive defence.

At the same time, Olympique de Marseille began its pre-season with renewed determination. Coach Roberto De Zerbi expressed his satisfaction with the fitness of his players, especially Mason Greenwood, who seems to be in good shape after a successful summer preparation. De Zerbi stresses the importance of the consistency and depth of the workforce for the coming season, highlighting the difficulties encountered at the end of the previous season due to injuries. Greenwood’s improved state of shape is seen as a major asset for OM, which aims for a more regular and efficient season.

Finally, the replay of the last episode of L’Apero Mercato addressed several rumours and information about OM, including the possible arrivals of Aubameyang, Merlin and Rongier, as well as the names of Unahi, Paixão, Badé and Ouah. The show also highlighted OM’s friendly 5-0 victory, highlighting the optimism surrounding the club as it approaches the new season. This discussion and information reflects the club’s activity in the transfer market and its ambitions for the coming season.
