The transfer of Lazar Samardzic from Atalanta to Marseille has collapsed, according to multiple reliable sources. The midfielder was thought to be close to a move, but both clubs have now stepped away. It potentially marks the end of a saga that had seemed likely to result in a done deal just a few days ago. This move is off for now, though speculation continues around Lazar Samardzic, who has also been linked with Fiorentina and Lazio. So far this season, Marseille are steady at both ends (2.25 goals scored per game, 0.94 goals conceded per game). The role for Lazar Samardzic would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. No fresh speculation surrounds Atalanta or Marseille regarding other transfer targets.
