Announced on the departure, Mattéo Guendouzi could finally stay at Olympique de Marseille this summer…
The time when Mattéo Guendouzi established himself as the emblematic leader of Olympique de Marseille seems so far away. Very comfortable under the orders of Jorge Sampaoli, the French international saw his status gradually crumble last season, no longer enjoying the confidence of Igor Tudor. And this trend has been confirmed since the start of the current financial year. If he made an appearance in the 2 matches played by OM in Ligue 1, the vice-world champion does not seem to be in Marcelino’s plans.
Guendouzi represents a significant market value for Olympique de Marseille. He is even currently the highest rated player in the squad if we rely on the specialized site Transfermarkt. In this context, Pablo Longoria is working to find a way out in the international midfield before the end of this summer transfer window. And according to information from Sky Italia, a destination would be possible for Guendouzi: Lazio Rome. But this file will be difficult to finalize.
OM and Lazio have very different positions on the Guendouzi file
While the Italian club’s interest in the OM midfielder would be real, the positions of the two clubs would be very far apart for the moment. Sky Italia specifies that Guendouzi, whose value is estimated at 25 million euros, would have been the subject of an offer of up to 15 million euros from the Biancocelesti leaders. An amount that absolutely does not correspond to the requirements of OM. As a reminder, Mattéo Guendouzi is under contract with the Marseille club until 2025. In the current state of things, seeing the former Arsenal player continue his adventure in Marseille is a hypothesis that cannot be ruled out.
