A surprise move from Olympique Marseille has shaken up the latest hours of the Juventus transfer window.
According to Tuttosport, representatives of the French club have been spotted in Turin for a face-to-face meeting with Juventus management.

The arrival of the Marseille delegation suggests a clear desire to accelerate negotiations, with concrete proposals on the table as the two clubs discuss possible deals.
For Juventus, the timing is particularly significant as the club continues to work on sales, generate transfer income and create room within the squad.
Gatti at the Centre of Marseille’s Interest
The main name at the centre of the talks is Federico Gatti, who has been on Marseille’s radar for some time. The Italian defender is also looking for a situation where he can enjoy greater continuity and establish himself as a regular starter.
Marseille’s interest could therefore provide an important opportunity for both the player and Juventus, particularly as the Bianconeri look to reshape their defensive options and improve their financial flexibility.
Di Gregorio Also on Marseille’s Radar
Alongside Gatti, Marseille are also closely monitoring Michele Di Gregorio. The Ligue 1 side has reportedly asked for information regarding the goalkeeper and is assessing whether a deal could be realistically completed during this transfer window.
The presence of Marseille officials in Turin could now help turn preliminary contacts into concrete negotiations.
Juventus are expected to remain flexible regarding the structure of potential departures, with loans, permanent transfers and different financial formulas all potentially on the table.

For the Bianconeri, selling players and raising funds remains a key part of the summer strategy. Any income generated from departures could then be reinvested into the squad and the reinforcements requested by head coach Luciano Spalletti.
