Report Rongier offered to Juventus by Olympique Marseille

Transfer expert Matteo Moretto reported that Juventus were presented with the opportunity to sign midfielder Valentin Rongier from Olympique Marseille. This information was shared on the YouTube channel of Moretto's colleague, Fabrizio Romano.

Rongier's name came up during discussions between Juventus and Marseille concerning other potential transfers, specifically Leonardo Balerdi. However, the report clarifies that Marseille offered Rongier to Juventus, rather than the Italian club actively pursuing or showing significant interest in the player.

Juventus's lack of strong interest is attributed to several factors. Rongier, a defensive midfielder, turns 31 years old later this year. Furthermore, his current contract with Marseille is set to expire in June 2026. Marseille is reportedly eager to sell him during this transfer window to avoid losing him on a free transfer next summer.

Adding to the complications, Rongier is currently recovering from a groin injury sustained in May, which raises concerns about his readiness for the upcoming pre-season. Considering his age, contract situation, current injury, and Juventus's existing roster of players prone to injuries, the report concludes that it is unlikely Juventus will pursue a deal for Rongier.
