Radical change of situation for one of the discards of FC Barcelona

The Brazilian center-back had no place in the culé team since leaving the Barça subsidiary and, after only one year on loan in France, where he joined Nice, he will return to the City of Barcelona with the purpose of being transferred.

This was communicated by Jean-Pierre Rivère, president of the French club, who, through the radio station France Bleu Azur, confirmed the return of Marlon Santos to his club, ending his loan agreement, which still had one year of contract remaining: "Barcelona received an offer of 20 million euros for Marlon. The player will have to leave Nice."

From the Premier League, the disposition of West Ham United and Leicester to acquire his services has been high since the end of the competition, so it is presumed that one of these two teams will ultimately complete the operation, pointing more towards the position of the hammers.

Marlon has had a great season in Ligue 1. Despite entering a kind of rotation in the first two-thirds of the 17/18 season, the defender finally settled in Lucien Favre's squad, meeting the coach's expectations. Now, at just 22 years old, his future points to a new adventure in English territory.
