OM through its sports director, Mehdi Benatia, who had nevertheless made an offer and made Nayef Aguerd his defensive priority, sees competition intensifying. Juve, strong of its European experience and its reconstruction project, advances its pawns quickly to style Marseille with the post.
To convince West Ham, Juventus proposes to include Daniele Rugani in the transaction, according to journalist Sébastien Vidal. The Italian defender followed by a mixed season on loan to Ajax Amsterdam, has only one year of contract to Juve. This assembly would allow the Italian club to limit financial investment, even if Rugani's market value has been significantly reduced.
West Ham, for his part, could compensate for the departure of Aguerd by an experienced player, even if it is necessary to admit that Daniele Rugani is not a lightning lightning. But on the principle that a player is included in the deal, the Hammers may well be interested in another Juventus player.
In the meantime, Juventus seems well decided to double OM in the race at Nayef Aguerd. But hey, we have no doubt about the persuasion of Mehdi Benatia to keep the advantage on this file, even if for the time West Ham is a little too greedy for Olympique de Marseille.
