The contract extension negotiations. Marseille's new boss, De Zerbi, who is about to take over, has been very impressed with Ballerdi's performances and plans to see him as an important part of the team's future.
Balerdi has shown great performances this season, not only being solid on the defensive end, but also growing into a leader in the Marseille locker room and popular with his teammates. The 25-year-old has made 42 appearances, contributing two goals and one assist.
Currently, Balerdi's contract is set to expire in 2026, and the Marseille hierarchy is hoping to keep him until 2028 by way of a pay rise extension. It is reported that good progress has been made in the contract extension talks and both sides are close to reaching an agreement on the salary terms of the new contract.
Currently valued at around €20 million, Ballerdi's consistent play and leadership make him a key player in Marseille's future strategy. With this contract extension, Marseille hopes to further consolidate the stability and competitiveness of the team's backline.
