Balerdi in Roma's sights for the next transfer window | OneFootball

As he looks to earn a spot at the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, his future appears to lie away from French football.

There is no doubt that Leonardo Balerdi is one of Olympique de Marseille’s standout players, and because of his outstanding performances, he is very close to being called up by Lionel Scaloni to play in 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 entered Atlético de Madrid’s plans. But now his future could be in another European country, with the Italian league potentially taking him there.

Over the last few hours, RMC Sport, one of the prestigious French media 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 in France they say the center-back is looking to leave, Footmercato reports that AS Roma will try to sign him. For now, there have been no offers.

What is Leonardo Balerdi’s market value?

According to the market-value specialist website Transfermarkt, Leonardo Balerdi’s current market value is 18 million euros.
