Olympique de Marseille was once again very active on the transfer market during the last summer period…
Over the years, he had established himself as a darling of the Stade Vélodrome, a symbol of combativeness. But he took a new turn in his career. At the age of 24, Mattéo Guendouzi has chosen to discover Serie A to continue his tour of Europe, after France, England and Germany.
While he was no longer part of Igor Tudor’s plans at the end of last season, the French vice-world champion was loaned to Lazio Rome with an option to buy. A departure that was still difficult to imagine a year earlier, when the midfielder was bursting into prominence under the tutelage of Jorge Sampaoli.
“There was no continuity”
Called to comment on this transfer in an interview for TF1, Mattéo Guendouzi was transparent. “In the second season, it was no longer the same things, explained the French international in comments made for Téléfoot. There was a lot of instability, we changed coaches many times in the space of two years, a new squad that changed each time. There was no continuity from that so I had to make a choice for me, for my career. »
A choice which does not allow Mattéo Guendouzi to rejoin the Blues for the moment.
