Olympique de Marseille formalized an important transfer this Thursday evening.
By his grinta, his style of play, his look too, he personified the new era of Olympique de Marseille. But the public at the Vélodrome will no longer have the opportunity to catch fire on his gestures of humor or his devastating tackles. Mattéo Guendouzi leaves OM. As expected, the Marseille club has confirmed the departure of the French international midfielder.
Guendouzi joins Lazio Roma on a loan with an option to buy. This should be mandatory and reach an amount of 13 million euros. “Our French international midfielder is on loan to Lazio Rome for a season with an option to buy,” reads a brief official statement published on the club’s website.
Guendouzi continues his tour of Europe
Arriving in Marseille in the summer of 2021 after experiences at Arsenal and Hertha Berlin, Guendouzi had become one of Jorge Sampaoli’s essential pawns. He had been used less by Igor Tudor last season, or else in a hybrid position that does not totally suit his profile.
While he did not enter into Marcelino’s plans, the vice-world champion therefore made the choice to go into exile again. Serie A will be its 4th major European championship after Ligue 1, the Premier League and the Bundesliga. The midfielder had already announced his arrival at Lazio on social media. His departure did not leave Marseille supporters indifferent.
