Olympique de Marseille are actively seeking to strengthen their central defense this summer. The French club has reportedly made an enquiry to Chelsea regarding the availability of 21-year-old Portuguese defender Renato Veiga.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi is keen to add defensive depth to the squad, an area identified as needing improvement despite OM finishing second in Ligue 1. Sporting director Medhi Benatia is prioritizing defensive reinforcements as the club prepares for the upcoming UEFA Champions League campaign. Several defenders have been linked with a move to the Vélodrome, including Aymeric Laporte, Facundo Medina, and Wesley Fofana.
Veiga is a player previously linked with Marseille in January. The young defender spent the latter half of the last season on loan at Juventus, though his future at Chelsea appears uncertain. Marseille`s recent contact with Chelsea confirms their concrete interest in a potential summer transfer for the player.
