Roberto De Zerbi is in advanced negotiations to become the new head coach of Olympique Marseille. The French club has offered him a three-year contract until June 2027, with important terms discussed by OM President Pablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia. The final step in the agreement involves Marseille paying a €6 million exit fee to Brighton, reduced from an original €15 million. De Zerbi has also rejected an offer from Manchester United and has lowered his wage demands to around €10m-a-year to join Marseille. President Longoria has been interested in De Zerbi since his time at Sassuolo.
