The end of a Marseille era.
Marseille is weighing the possibility of parting ways with one of their key defenders, a crucial part of the team’s backline.
Details: As reported by Santi Aouna, Argentine defender Leonardo Balerdi is set to leave the club at the end of the current season, targeting a departure in the summer of 2026. Various clubs are already showing interest, and Marseille could potentially earn up to €30 million for the centre-back.
This season, Balerdi has been a standout performer, appearing in 31 matches, where he scored one goal and provided one assist.
In other news, Marseille’s newly unveiled logo has drawn significant backlash from supporters. During a Ligue 1 match against Metz at the Velodrome, fans made their displeasure clear, voicing concerns about the club’s management.
Reminder: Should Tottenham secure their Premier League status, they plan to pursue the signing of RB Leipzig midfielder Arthur Vermeeren, who is currently on loan at Marseille.
