Author of a brilliant season in the Stade de Reims shirt in 2019-2020, Axel Disasi had then turned many recruiters’ heads. And if the one who has just been called up to France for the first time by Didier Deschamps, in addition to going to play the World Cup in Qatar, had finally switched to Monaco during the 2020 summer transfer market, the latter could very well have joined.. .OM!
Crushed by Pablo Longoria, the board of directors of Olympique de Marseille had in the end opted for the path led by Leonardo Balerdi, considered at the time as the future great football defender in Argentina and who had left Boca Juniors at a very young age to take over the management of Germany and more precisely Borussia Dortmund. Had he played little at BvB, Balerdi would have been signed by OM, first in the form of a one-year €1m paid loan accompanied by an €11m option to buy which had been exercised, then by the Marseille club belonging to Frank McCourt. This is a total of 12 million euros.
And it will be exactly the same amount that AS Monaco will have paid, a few weeks later in this same transfer market period, to secure the signing of the excellent Axel Disasi, who today has clearly become a reference for his role in the French league. Quite the opposite of Leonardo Balerdi, who is struggling to explode at the highest level among the residents of the Orange Vélodrome.
