Sassuolo benched defender Marlon against Cagliari today, reportedly because he is in talks for a €15m move to Fulham.
The 25-year-old centre-back is a product of the youth academies at Fluminense and Barcelona.
He joined the Neroverdi in 2018 for €6m, with Barca retaining a buy-back option and 50 per cent of his future sale fee.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Marlon is only on the bench for today’s Serie A opener against Cagliari because he is in negotiations for the move to Fulham.
