In addition to the 18 million euros offered by Lazio Rome for Mattéo Guendouzi, OM could collect another good sum by the end of the transfer window.

Mattéo Guendouzi may not be the only midfielder to leave OM before the summer transfer window closes on Friday evening. While Pablo Longoria has confirmed that he has received an offer from Lazio Rome for the French international, which would reach 18 million euros including bonus, a second large check could arrive in the coming hours on the office of the Marseille president.

According to Sky Sports, Azzedine Ounahi would have caught the eye of a Premier League club. Faced with several injuries in this sector of play, Brentford would have entered into discussions with the Sky and White for the transfer of the Moroccan international. Arrived at the Old Port last January, the 23-year-old player is under contract until 2027 and his value is estimated at 12 million euros per Transfermarkt.

Ounahi, eight months and then leaves?

“On the case of Azzedine, I followed the rumors but it is not a hot topicsaid the Olympian boss at a press conference on Monday, on the sidelines of the presentation of the Argentine striker Joaquin Correa. Afterwards, the transfer window is open and it is normal and responsible, as a leader, to analyze the situations of the transfer window, but the case of Azzedine is not relevant for the moment. »

Has the situation changed since? Possible, especially if the proposal made by Brentford turns out to be consistent with the market. If Azzedine Ounahi were to fly to England, the good deal would also be for Angers, his previous club, supposed to receive a resale percentage of 30%. A parameter that Pablo Longoria will obviously have to take into account.
