Guendouzi sold, Longoria can’t take it anymore

Change of coach or not, Olympique de Marseille only has Matteo Guendouzi. Its sale is inevitable in the eyes of management.

Good pick of the transfer window in the summer of 2021 since he had arrived for a loan whose option was exercised a year later, Matteo Guendouzi is living his last hours at Olympique de Marseille. The midfielder had a first full season at OM, even becoming a French international and used during the last World Cup by Didier Deschamps. But the return from Qatar was terrible for the player who was partly trained at PSG. Barred by Igor Tudor, and misused when he had some playing time, the 24-year-old has disappeared from the radar. Finally bought for 11 million euros, Guendouzi should be sold for double, since Unai Emery’s Aston Villa has been pushing for him for a year now.

This summer, Pablo Longoria will not oppose it, he who could have already sold it for 30 million euros a few months ago. It must be said that, according to La Provence, Guendouzi is not only about to be sold, but he is also practically kicked out. It is his attitude that does not pass, even if the player has not made any sensational public outings or deviations that have earned him reprimands. On the other hand, internally, his relations with the leaders have deteriorated to the point that there are now no questions about him in view of last year. The upcoming change of coach does not change his situation, and his departure is considered inevitable. Even if its image should not be tarnished when a good sale is expected, obviously the passage of Matteo Guendouzi, who for more than a year was one of OM’s strong links, will not be cried on the Old Port.
