Despite very average performances, Renan Lodi, just six months after his arrival in Marseille, will bring in big profits for OM.
It has not yet been signed but the outlines of the deal between OM and Al-Hilal for the transfer of Renan Lodi are already known. And the Marseillais, for once, are far from being losers given the performance of the Brazilian left-back since his arrival at the club this summer.
Foot Mercato reported this Monday that the compensation granted by the Saudis is indeed 22 million euros, plus 3 million euros in bonuses – for a total of 25 million. Certainly the Phocaeans will have to pay part of the proceeds of this transfer to Atlético de Madrid under the agreement reached this summer, but the operation is certainly beautiful for the Olympians who will be able to strengthen themselves doubly in this position in the coming weeks .
A loan with compulsory purchase option
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the transaction should be concluded in the form of a loan with a “100% guaranteed” compulsory purchase option – undoubtedly a way for OM to qualify the incentive bonus due to the Matelassiers. Renan Lodi gets away with a concrete contract, with a triple salary in Saudi Arabia.
