One potential solution being considered is the acquisition of Papy Djilobodji, the formidable central defender from FC Nantes, as reported by 10 Sport on Thursday. However, securing the services of the Senegalese defender won’t come cheap. Nantes president Waldemar Kita is demanding a hefty sum of at least 20 million euros to part ways with his prized asset.
This high asking price poses a financial challenge for Marseille, as it would require substantial investment from the club’s coffers. Additionally, it suggests that a move for Filip Djordjevic, another player of interest, might be more feasible abroad given the financial constraints involved in pursuing Djilobodji.
As Marseille continues to strategize and negotiate, the pursuit of defensive reinforcements remains a priority in the club’s plans for the upcoming season.
