The Italian coach is convinced of his potential and would like OM to refuse the offers to come this summer. Better yet, RDZ would like to build a 100% Argentinian central hinge. In his viewfinder, another Albiceleste soldier: Facundo M\u00e9dina. At 25, the Lensois has an exit voucher and is available to the transfer market. His association with Balerdi could clearly walk. Left -handed, experienced and endowed with a hell of a character, Medina ticks all the boxes to adhere to the Zerbi method. One year before the 2026 World Cup, the last of Lionel Messi, the Lensois would have everything to reach a club like OM. Even more if a place in the Champions League is on the menu of 2025-2026\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"article_news_author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Jos\u00e9 Garcia\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] For next season, OM would have in mind to install a new hinge.
