Jonathan Clauss, Vitinha, Pape Gueye, François-Régis Mughe, Pablo Longoria’s OM will validate several departures and conclude the winter transfer window with one or two receipts!
Vitinha says “see you later”
Vitinha will sign for Genoa
A huge flop (he was recruited for 25 million euros plus 7 in bonuses a year ago), Vitinha will try to find a smile again as part of a loan to Genoa. He had his medical examination this Wednesday morning. President Pablo Longoria said he did not want a “dry loan”. It’s wrong. The Portuguese striker was loaned with a simple purchase option set at 25 million, an amount almost impossible for the Italian club to pay.
Zeki Çelik, the new track!
While the departure of Jonathan Clauss has not been confirmed, OM are reportedly looking into the case of Lorenz Assignon, 23-year-old right-back from Stade Rennais. The Breton club had already asked a lot for Adrien Truffert, he will perhaps do a favor for Pablo Longoria… In the event of failure, the president of OM will again turn to Italy, but by recruiting a former player of Ligue 1, Turkish defender Mehmet Zeki Çelik, French champion with Losc in 2021. This is the soap opera of the last two days of the Marseille transfer window.
Two other players leaving?
Like Vitinha and Jonathan Clauss, it is Pape Gueye who is pushed towards the exit. And for good reason, the Senegalese midfielder, at the end of his contract on May 30, will not extend with Ciel et Blanc and the Olympian management is seeking to sell him in the last days of the winter transfer window. François-Régis Mughe, the Cameroonian winger who refused to play in the CAN (before being banned from playing with OM), could be loaned to Ligue 2. According to L’Equipe, AS Saint-Etienne and US Dunkerque are in the running.
