One of the greatest hopes of Argentine football arrives in Marseille on loan: Valentin Carboni, the Inter Milan midfielder.
Valentin Carboni to OM, it’s as if it was done. Questioned by Fabrizio Romano, Giuseppe Marotta, the president of Inter Milan, confirmed that the Argentinian midfielder would most likely be a player of Olympique de Marseille next season. “I think we will close the deal with OM for Carboni, but he will still be under contract with us and under control”said the Lombard leader.
Carboni will normally arrive at the Canebière during the week, once the terms of his loan with option to buy have been finalised. Inter want to set the bar very high in terms of the said option – we are talking about more than 30 million euros – so as not to risk losing one of the greatest hopes of Argentinian football, who they loaned to Monza last season.
After Messi and Dybala, will it be Carboni?
To realize the supposed quality of Valentin Carboni, one only has to listen to the Argentinian journalist Santiago Soler, interviewed by the media Massilia Zone. In his eyes, the 19-year-old player is quite simply… the future number 10 of Argentina.
“One day, unfortunately, Lionel Messi will leave the Argentine national team. If Scaloni maintains the style of play of this team, it is very likely that Paulo Dybala will replace Messi. Behind Dybala, I think it will be Carboni. He is the one who is most in line among the Argentine players. If he grows in the coming seasons, which is possible, he could even perhaps take Dybala’s place.”
These are words that are likely to please Marseille supporters, even if some are not fans of the process and the low chance of being able to keep a boy who only had 17th playing time on the Monza side, and still seems far from being a finished product enough to be indisputable at OM. The rest will tell us if this new transaction carried out by the Pablo Longoria-Mehdi Benatia pair was the most relevant.
