Darko Lazović close to Marseille move | OneFootball

Marseille look set to secure the signing of Hellas Verona midfielder Darko Lazović (31). An agreement is already in place with the player, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Serbian international Lazović is well known to new Marseille manager Igor Tudor. He was a mainstay in Tudor’s Hellas Verona side last season, as he made 34 Serie A appearances, scoring once and registering seven assists.

Romano is reporting that negotiations are at “the final stage” and are set to be completed this week. Lazović, who has also spent time at Red Star Belgrade and Genoa, is accustomed to playing at left-midfield, although he can also provide cover on the right-hand side.

Once terms are agreed with Hellas Verona, his move should be quickly completed with terms between the player and the Ligue 1 side already agreed upon. He is set to become Marseille’s eighth arrival of the summer as the side look to add depth to their squad ahead of a packed calendar, which will include Champions League football.
