Recruited by OM last summer from Atlético de Madrid, Renan Lodi seems on the verge of leaving the Marseille club for Saudi Arabia, and should be replaced numerically by Rennais Adrien Truffert. President Pablo Longoria spoke frankly about these two hot issues of the winter transfer window.
Six months and then gone? L’OM did not hesitate to spend €13M during the last transfer window summer to attract Renan Lodi (25 years old) and finally stabilize this left-back position. But there you have it, the former player ofAtletico Madrid has never really managed to convince since his arrival at the Vélodrome, and according to the latest trends, he would be very close to leaving OM. Al-Hilal has made a €20m offer for the Brazilian international, who should be replaced by Adrien Truffert (22 years old) who is about to disembark from Stadium Rennes.
Longoria confirms the trend for Lodi
Interviewed at the microphone of Prime Video last Friday before the meeting between theOM And Strasbourg (1-1), Pablo Longoria also seems to confirm these two imminent operations on the transfer window : “ If Renan Lodi leaves and Adrien Truffert arrives? Well, I think this is not the time to name specific names. For Renan Lodi, it’s true that in recent days there have been different proposals, different options, we had to recruit some players on the left and I said it yesterday, because it is necessary », indicated the president of theOM.
“You must always be attentive”
Longoria continues by explaining that the rest of the transfer window could actually be stirred at theOM depending on departures and market opportunities: “ Depending on upcoming events, we will continue to work, but I think now is not the time. In the transfer window, you always have to be attentive and I can say that the teams are very well prepared “. That is clear.
