OM: a shot to play for Claudinho?

Every day its new offensive track on the side of Olympique de Marseille. While the photos of the agent of winger Manuel Benson (Antwerp) on Sunday in front of the Stade Vélodrome have agitated Marseille fans, UOL journalist Mauro Cezar reveals on Monday that OM are interested in the attacking midfielder from Zenith Saint-Petersburg, Claudinho (25), without further details on the terms envisaged.

Recruited in the country a year ago, the Brazilian comes out of a successful first season in Europe with 8 goals and 5 assists in 23 games in the Russian championship and a little experience in the Champions League (2 goals in 6 games), which is an important point for the Phocaeans.

The South American is valued at 18 million euros by the Transfermarkt site and nothing says that his club is willing to give him up, but OM could take advantage of the special FIFA regulations which still allow foreign players playing this summer. in Russia to temporarily suspend their contract. However, it will be necessary to deal with competition from AS Roma, also on the spot.
