Hailed as one of Jorge Sampaoli's top priorities last summer, Luan Peres has finally been recruited by OM. And yet the Brazilian defender had other proposals under consideration …
Unknown to the general French public when he arrived at OM from Sao Paulo for € 4.5 million last summer, Luan Peres ( 27 years old) was strongly desired by Jorge Sampaoli, as well as Gerson. Moreover, the competition seems to have relatively strong in this file for the Marseille club, since Luan Peres admits in an interview given to the official website of the OM that he had other offers in hand. But Marseille's fame finally convinced him.
“I knew the three clubs, but…”
“I had proposals from OM and other teams and I remember it was the size of this club that attracted me the most. I said to myself: 'Well it's OM anyway!' Although I knew the three clubs, it was the one that came back to me the most because there have always been big names ”, confides Luan Peres behind the scenes of his arrival at OM.
