Pushed towards the exit by Olympique de Marseille, in search of cash following its recent failure in the Champions League, Mattéo Guendouzi leaves Canebière to commit to Lazio in Rome. The 24-year-old midfielder was loaned out for a season with the option to buy the team led by Maurizio Sarri, which qualified for the C1 after finishing second in Serie A.
After the Premier League and the Bundesliga, the French international (7 caps, 1 goal) will discover the Italian championship after landing in the Bouches-du-Rhône in the summer of 2021. Before playing with the Biancocelesti, the ex-Gunner wished to send a last message to Marseille as well as to the Marseille supporters. “From this July 6, 2021 was born love at first sight. A sincere love at first sight, driven by a common passion with you, Supporters. 2 years of passion, madness, sharing, also complex moments that I was able to experience with a certain modesty and constant support… Yours. Marseille, extraordinary city. Here, the one who disembarks one day on the port, he is necessarily at home. Wherever we come from, we are at home in Marseille”can we read on the player’s Instagram account.
