AS Roma are reported to be in talks to sign Marseille centre-back Leonardo Balerdi. Italian outlets say Roma are preparing an offer and that the transfer is close, with Balerdi expected to leave Marseille for the Serie A club.
According to reporting attributed to Fabrizio Romano, Roma and Olympique de Marseille have reached an agreement for the Argentine defender. The accounts describe the move as effectively an AS Roma recruitment rather than a speculative interest, suggesting the process is at an advanced stage, though details such as final fees and contract terms are not fully specified in the brief summaries provided by the outlets.
Overall, the different sources align on the same core point: Balerdi is the player involved, and Roma are the club pursuing the transfer from Marseille. The emphasis varies from “set for” arrival language to reporting that an agreement has been reached, but both indicate a deal trajectory rather than ongoing preliminary scouting.
