Even if OM is carrying out a major overhaul of its squad, Leonardo Balerdi will not be affected since he has extended his contract with the Phocéens.
He will not be affected by the big clean-up. While Olympique de Marseille is (once again) making a major change to its squad, Leonardo Balerdi is one of the few starters from last season who will keep their place.
The Argentinian defender, who is highly sought after, has even chosen to extend his contract with the Phocéens. “For me, OM is a special club, explained the former Dortmund player at a press conference. I arrived here very young, I grew up. I am happy with the person and the player that I am and it is thanks to the club, this city and the leaders.
De Zerbi convinced him
It hasn’t always been rosy for Balerdi since his arrival in 2020. But the Argentinian is coming off a very good season, and he wants to continue his progression with his new coach.
“De Zerbi’s arrival helped me. He wrote to me from the first day here, explained the 25-year-old player, relays RMC.
Personally, I want to confirm the season I had last year. I worked hard for this moment, even when it was difficult. I never thought about giving up and leaving.”
