Valentin Carboni has officially joined Olympique Marseille on a loan deal, with Inter Milan retaining the right to reacquire the talented Argentine player. This transfer comes after a month of negotiations, highlighting the interest Marseille has shown in Carboni, who spent the last season on loan at Monza.
Inter’s CEO, Beppe Marotta, confirmed the move, stating (as quoted by Gianluca Di Marzio), “I believe we will close with Marseille for a temporary transfer, keeping him always under control and tied to the club.” This statement underscores Inter’s strategic approach to player development and retention.
The terms of the transfer involve a loan fee of €1 million , with an option for Marseille to purchase Carboni outright. However, Inter has ensured that they maintain the option to buy him back, allowing them to monitor his progress closely while he gains experience in Ligue 1.
Carboni, born on March 5, 2005, in Buenos Aires, is a promising midfielder known for his skills as a trequartista. He has shown significant potential during his time with Inter and in youth competitions, making this loan a crucial step in his development as a player.
