Belgium’s young defensive midfield maestro, Arthur Vermeeren, is currently making headlines with a potential move from Germany’s RB Leipzig to France’s Olympique Marseille on the horizon.
The 20-year-old has had a solid season with Leipzig, appearing in 28 matches and providing 2 assists, despite his team’s 7th place standing in the Bundesliga.
Vermeeren, who stands at 180 cm and weighs 76 kg, has shown considerable promise in the defensive midfield position, a trait that has seemingly caught the attention of Marseille. The French club is currently second in Ligue 1, and the addition of Vermeeren could potentially bolster their midfield options as they prepare for Champions League football next season.
With a market value of €22.00m, equivalent to roughly 164 million DKK, Vermeeren’s transfer could be a significant investment for Marseille. However, considering his age and potential, it could be a shrewd long-term move for the French side.
As the transfer window is set to close tomorrow, it remains to be seen if the clubs can reach an agreement in time. However, given Vermeeren’s contract with Leipzig runs until 2029, there is no immediate pressure for the German side to sell.
