Unwanted Juventus star offered to Olympique Marseille | OneFootball

Michele Di Gregorio has been offered to Olympique Marseille, who need to replace Gerónimo Rulli after selling him to Manchester City this summer.

The Ligue 1 side need a new goalkeeper, while Juventus need to offload Di Gregorio so they can at least save his salary, given that he will no longer be their first-choice goalkeeper.

Di Gregorio Offered to Marseille

A move to OM could make sense for Di Gregorio, as it would take him away from Italian football and allow him to play under less public scrutiny, even if the move were to be completed on loan.

Juventus are looking to ensure there is balance within their squad, with the club wanting unwanted players to leave before the end of this transfer window.

Tuttojuve reports that Juventus have now offered Marseille the chance to sign Di Gregorio as they look for ways to move him on, at least on loan.

Juventus Keen to Avoid Value Drop

Keeping Di Gregorio and Mattia Perin as backup options makes little sense for Juventus, particularly if the former is unlikely to receive regular playing time. A full season without playing could lead to a reduction in his market value, which is something the Bianconeri want to avoid.

Juventus therefore have an incentive to find a solution for the goalkeeper before the transfer window closes. A temporary move could allow Di Gregorio to play regularly while also allowing the club to manage its squad more effectively.

The Bianconeri will continue doing their best to find a destination for Di Gregorio, with Marseille now presented as a potential option. The French club need to strengthen their goalkeeping department, which could make the proposed move an attractive solution for both sides.

It remains to be seen whether OM will be interested in signing Di Gregorio. If Marseille decide to pursue the goalkeeper, a loan move could provide Juventus with the opportunity to reduce their squad and protect the player’s market value at the same time.
