AS Roma Eye Marseille’s Benjamin Mendy for Summer Reinforcement
With next season in mind, AS Roma manager Rudi Garcia is actively seeking reinforcements, and one of the latest names on his list is Benjamin Mendy, Olympique de Marseille’s promising left-back.
🔸 Interest Confirmed:
According to Il Tiempo, Roma have officially inquired about the 20-year-old defender, who has featured in 30 matches this season for OM, showcasing both his stamina and attacking flair on the flank.
🔸 OM’s Stance Unknown:
While Roma’s interest is clear, Marseille’s willingness to sell remains uncertain—especially if Marcelo Bielsa stays on as coach. The Argentine manager has shown great trust in Mendy and would likely prefer to keep him as a key piece of his squad.
🔸 Garcia’s Broader Plans:
Benjamin Mendy joins a growing list of French-based players reportedly targeted by Garcia, including:
-
André Ayew (Marseille),
-
Adrien Rabiot (PSG),
-
Lucas Digne (PSG),
-
Rio Mavuba (Lille),
-
Gregory van der Wiel (PSG).
Should Roma proceed with a formal offer, OM will face a big decision, especially if Mendy continues to attract interest across Europe.
