OM president Pablo Longoria gave an update on Mattéo Guendouzi’s situation at a press conference.

Mattéo Guendouzi will probably soon no longer be an OM player. On the sidelines of the presentation of Joaquin Correa, who has just arrived from Inter Milan, Pablo Longoria was asked about the situation of the French midfielder, courted by Lazio Rome. And the Marseille president did not hide that an agreement was close. “I can confirm that there is an offer on the table”he said.

However, the Spanish leader indicated that the departure of the international tricolor (24 years old) in Serie A was not yet completed. “It’s true that we received an offer and that the positions of the two clubs have come very close in recent days. But the deal is not finalized, there are still many details to settle and many situations of potential disagreement.he added.

“There are always three parties involved: the buying club, the selling club and the player. Even a fourth with player agents and their various entourages”, he recalled. The Italian formation would have offered 18 million euros, bonus included, to OM to recruit the former Gunner, under contract until 2025 and that the Sky and White had bought 11 million euros from Arsenal.
