Olympique Marseille and Torino battle over Doig

Torino continue negotiations with Hellas Verona for Josh Doig, but Gennaro Gattuso’s Olympique Marseille reportedly enter the fray too.

It is no secret that Doig is a target for the Granata and their coach Ivan Juric in the January transfer window.

According to Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, the asking price is €6m and Toro have not yet reached it.

The big development today is that Ligue 1 giants Olympique Marseille have dived in with a proposal said to be worth €5m for the Scottish left-back.

The 21-year-old can also play in a more advanced role on the left of midfield, which is where he is required by Torino, or even as a centre-back if required.

Doig was voted Scottish Football Writers’ Young Player of the Year for 2020-21 at Hibernian and made the transfer to Hellas Verona for €3.6m in the summer of 2022.

So far this season, he has made 13 appearances for Verona between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
