Asked about his arrival at Olympique de Marseille from Atlético de Madrid, Geoffrey Kondogbia slipped a little word on Antoine Griezmann …
If ever that wasn’t clear, now it is. Antoine Griezmann has a little tenderness for Olympique de Marseille, and it is his former teammate Geoffrey Kondogbia who confirms it.
“Antoine (Griezmann) has always loved this club, confided the former Monaco player this Thursday during his presentation to the press. I think he’s already said that publicly although I’m not sure. Let me say it anyway. It has always been a club he enjoys. »
It is therefore easy to imagine that Griezmann pushed Kondogbia to accept OM’s proposal this summer. “He was happy that I signed for Olympique de Marseille, confirmed the former French international, relays RMC. And the same for Renan Lodi. » Since two players from Atlético joined OM this summer, there would be plenty of room for a third. “Maybe it will be next,” Kondogbia amused himself by turning to his president Pablo Longoria, present at his side.
Longoria calms things down
Unfortunately for Kondogbia, the Spanish leader confided that the recruitment of OM was over, or almost.“Currently, if we are honest and analyze the workforce, apart from the right-back position, we are complete, explained Longoria. We have all the positions doubled. I consider that we are complete unless there are players leaving. »
This last sentence is important, because it indicates that OM could seek other reinforcements in the event of departures, for example from Cengiz Under, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Chancel Mbemba or Mattéo Guendouzi.
