Roberto De Zerbi is on the brink of securing his first significant signing as the manager of Marseille.
As reported by Footmercato, Lilian Brassier is set to move to the southern French city for a fee of €10 million plus add-ons.
The talented defender had previously attracted significant interest from AC Milan and Bologna.
A source close to the negotiations stated, “Brassier’s move to Marseille is practically a done deal.”
