According to a report from Foot Mercato, Olympique de Marseille are looking to strengthen their midfield rotation and are interested in AC Milan midfielder Yacine Adli (24).
Marseille have been keen to strengthen their squad this summer, actively signing 10 players during the transfer window, including strengthening their midfield with the additions of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (29) and Ismael Koné (22).
However, Foot Mercato reports that the club are keen to add another midfielder to their squad, with Jordan Veretout (31) “in the loft” and expected to leave before the transfer window closes on August 30.
Adli is seen as the perfect addition to AC Milan after his breakout season with the club last year, with the versatile midfielder operating as a defensive midfielder under manager Stefano Pioli and making 33 appearances across all competitions for the Italian club.
Marseille are not the only club in the running to sign Yacine Adli
However, Marseille are not the only team interested, with French media explaining that there will be stiff competition from several Italian teams for the midfielder, who represented France at the under-age levels.
