Placed on the transfer list by Olympique de Marseille with a view to recovering cash following the failure in the Champions League, Mattéo Guendouzi is heading for a departure in Italy. Despite rumors announcing a return of the Frenchman to England, it is ultimately Lazio in Rome who seems to hold the right end of the rope to enlist him.
There Gazzetta dello Sport mentions in its edition of the day that the Roman management has intensified negotiations with the entourage of the 23-year-old player to complete his arrival at the end of the week. The French international (7 caps, 1 goal) has agreed to join the Italian team on condition that his salary is higher than that which he currently receives at OM. In this perspective, the transalpine media argues that the Biancocelesti are willing to offer him 3.5 M€ per year but the two parties have yet to find common ground on the amount of the commissions. For its part, the Marseille club remains inflexible and claims 20 M€ in the operation.
