Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Marseille, has reportedly contacted Valentin Carboni over the phone to discuss how he plans to use him tactically, according to L’Equipe.
Carboni, a forward departing from Inter Milan, is expected to slot in behind the central striker for the French club.
“The understanding is very close,” a source from Marseille revealed, indicating that the former Monza player is on the verge of securing an agreement.
With this move, Carboni is anticipated to extend his contract, potentially paving the way for a longer-term stay at Marseille.
This development adds another layer of excitement to the transfer market as Marseille eyes strengthening its attacking options with Carboni’s inclusion.
