Konrad de la Fuente will return to OM after a loan spell at Olympiakos. A catastrophic Greek adventure for the American with 5 games played. Cédric Bakambu rubbed shoulders with him in Piraeus and comes to clear his now ex-teammate.
Trained almost entirely at FC Barcelona’s Masia, he is nevertheless anything but a crack for the general public. Konrad de la Fuente has disappointed OM supporters since his transfer for 3 million euros in the summer of 2021. He played 23 games in his only Marseille season for a single goal. It was even worse at Olympiakos where he was loaned out during the 2022-2023 season. He only played five small games, two qualifying in the Europa League and three in the Greek league. His last appearance on the ground even dates from September 11, 2022! No question of injury for him, he was simply dismissed from the squad by his coach.
De la Fuente too strong, he just has to show it in the match
Former Marseille player who just transferred to Al Nasr Dubai, Cédric Bakambu played alongside De la Fuente at Olympiakos. He revealed the conditions of the sidelining of the American as well as his real talent seen in training. The Congolese believes that the former Barcelona player is paying for a dirty mouth, having enormous potential but unknown to the general public. Greek fans only remember his failures in front of goal, which caused his loss during the season.

” What I was told was that in one of the first games of the season, he harvested a lot during a home game. They lost, or drew, and the fans were mad at him. After that he didn’t play anymore. However, I find it too strong! His problem is that he is nonchalant. Some coaches like body language and Konrad, when you see him, gives that impression. But on the pitch, he is very strong, he goes very fast, he is very lively. Now I don’t know where he is, he left, he had terminated. I do not know where he is “, he said in a live Twitch about a player who played his last match even before the arrival of Bakambu in Athens. Marcelino and Pablo Longoria therefore have a shot at OM with Konrad de la Fuente, who returns to the club on July 1. It’s up to them to manage the American winger well to finally show Europe the extent of his supposed potential.
