Several Serie A sides interested in Marseille defender Pol Lirola | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille full-back Pol Lirola (27) is the subject of interest from several Serie A clubs as the Ligue 1 side aims to offload the Spaniard before the end of the transfer window.Lirola s being targeted by Pisa, Genoa, Udinese, and Parma according to a report from Foot Mercato. he Spanish defender is valued at €5m to €6m, with his contract at the Vélodrome running until 2026.Newly-promoted Pisa are reportedly the most advanced in their pursuit of the former Fiorentina and Sassuolo man as they seek reinforcements at right-back. Clubs in La Liga are also said to be monitoring Lirola’s situation, although no Spanish side has yet formalised their interest.Lirola remains well-regarded in Italy, where he spent the majority of his early career, and benefits from strong ties between Marseille and Serie A through the club’s sporting leadership. The likes of De Zerbi, Pablo Longoria, Medhi Benatia, and technical director Giovanni Rossi all maintain an active network within Italian football.With Angel Gomes, Facundo Medina, and CJ Egan-Riley all arriving in recent weeks and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set to rejoin the club shortly, OM are under pressure to trim the wage bill and balance the squad. The departures of Valentin Rongier and Quentin Merlin to Rennes were steps in that direction, but the club still needs to finalise more exits before the end of the window.GFFN | George Boxall
