Thunderous during the last winter transfer window, Olympique de Marseille caused a sensation after managing to complete the signing of four new reinforcements without paying a penny. This summer again, the management of OM intends to hit hard on the transfer market and has already put its plan into action to bring in an attacker from Serie A.
Real sensation on the side of Udinese, Gerard Deulofeu achieve a good season in the Italian league with 7 goals and 2 assists. Arrived in October 2020 from Watford, the left winger established himself within the Italian club so well that he is now essential in the attacking sector of Udinese. However, he wouldn’t rule out the idea of taking on a new challenge in other places.
Alerted by his desire to leave, OM then quickly filed on the file. And the latest news, the Marseille leaders have decided to take action for his possible transfer. Calciomercato ensures that emissaries from Olympique de Marseille have indeed met the agent of Gerard Deulofeu for future collaboration. If the content of the exchanges has not yet leaked for the moment, the Marseille club seems determined to lay the foundations for the Spaniard’s arrival in Marseille next summer. It remains to be seen whether these negotiations will be conclusive.
Big competition for Gérard Deulofeu

Strong competition that may drive up the bids. For now, the direction of Udinese does not close the door for a departure of his player. She would expect a check for more than 22 million euros for her transfer.
