The news of his arrival in Marseille had been highly anticipated for several weeks and was made official by the Phocéens through a press release announcing the signing of a three-year contract: “OM is pleased to announce the signing of the Italian coach for the next three seasons. Aged 45, the Brescia native already has solid experience at the highest level,” was written in the official press release. In Marseille, everyone is now seeing things on a grand scale. And of course, the Marseille leaders want to allow the former Brighton and Sassuolo coach to achieve his goals. Several recruits are targeted and in addition to the imminent arrival of Lilian Brassier, Marseille has already got its hands on Ismaël Koné, another choice recruit from Watford.
While the entire management and staff of Olympique de Marseille seem to complement each other in the best possible way, the time has come to get to work to offer the best squad to Roberto De Zerbi. And unsurprisingly, Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia intend to use their very extensive network in Italy to please their Italian tactician. With the Manuel Locatelli rumor continuing to gain momentum, it is another midfielder, more offensive, who joins the list of summer ideas of the Marseille board. Valentín Carboni represents a concrete lead for OM, as revealed by the Italian journalist from Sky SportGianluca Di Marzio. Information that we can already confirm to you. This file is even one of the hottest on Pablo Longoria’s desk at the moment.
Priority to the post!
According to our information, the Marseille management will quickly take action for the young Argentinian attacking midfielder. Indeed, Valentín Carboni is unanimous among the Marseille management and the new staff. Initial contacts have even been initiated in the Marseille club, the player’s agent and Inter. Present in the United States to play in the Copa América 2024, everything could accelerate in the coming days for the Buenos Aires native who had also been coveted for a time by Italian clubs including Fiorentina. He represents today, without a shadow of a doubt, an absolute priority to strengthen the attacking midfield position in the ranks of Roberto De Zerbi. Under contract until June 30, 2028, the young Argentinian nugget, who should also participate in the Paris Olympic Games, has a high market value. The negotiations have, at least, started well between all parties and OM is very determined in this matter.
A great revelation in Serie A last season, Valentín Carboni shone during his loan with Monza where he established himself, at just 18 years old at the time, as one of the leaders of the squad with 2 goals and 4 assists in 36 games played. A player with good dribbling skills and absolute calm in front of goal, he is comfortable in a possession-based game and is not afraid to receive the ball in dangerous areas. Often lined up as a left-footed attacking midfielder, mainly in a number 10 role, Valentín Carboni can also play as a centre-forward, inverted winger on the right side or mezzala. An elegant, composed and creative dribbler, he likes to run frequently between his team’s attacking lines to help keep the ball but also to transition by finding his teammates via deep passes. In addition to his offensive contributions, Carboni has no problem pressuring and winning the ball back. His diligence and perseverance also allow him to make a defensive contribution.
