Balerdi on Roma's radar for the next transfer window | OneFootball

While he looks to earn a place at the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, his future may lie outside French football.

There is no doubt that Leonardo Balerdi is one of Olympique de Marseille’s standout players, and thanks to his excellent performances he is very close to being called up by Lionel Scaloni to play at the 2026 World Cup wearing the Argentina national team shirt.

During the last transfer window, in addition to being highly regarded by the Albiceleste coach, the former Boca and Borussia Dortmund player also came onto Atlético de Madrid’s radar. But now his future could be in another European country, with the Italian league a possible destination.

In the last few hours, RMC Sport, one of France’s most prestigious outlets, made it clear that Balerdi could leave at the end of the current season. In fact, Les Phocéens’ financial situation is not the best, and they could ask for between 25 and 30 million euros to let him go.

Despite being under contract until June 2028, Olympique de Marseille’s captain, according to the same source, does not see himself playing in France after the World Cup, a tournament he has a strong chance of attending for the first time since turning professional. While reports in France say the center-back is looking to leave, Footmercato claims that AS Roma will try to sign him. For now, no offers have been made.

What is Leonardo Balerdi’s market value?

According to Transfermarkt, the website specializing in market valuations, Leonardo Balerdi is currently valued at 18 million euros.
