OM’s January Offer Rejected

Olympique de Marseille made a significant attempt to bolster their midfield during the winter transfer window, submitting a bid of approximately €20 million for Como midfielder Lucas Da Cunha. However, the Italian club turned down the offer, according to reports.

Italian journalist Nicolò Schira revealed the details of the offer, stating that Come refused a major offer from Olympique de Marseille (around 20 million euros) in January. Several Premier League clubs are now monitoring the situation.

Da Cunha’s Agency Change and Fabregas’s Stance

Adding another layer to the story, Lucas Da Cunha recently switched agencies, joining CAA Base. Como manager Cesc Fabregas reportedly wishes to retain the midfielder, further complicating a potential move.
