Loaned to Lazio by OM this season, Mattéo Guendouzi does not rule out a return to Marseille. A day…
It is an element whose combativeness is cruelly regretted this season in Marseille. Mattéo Guendouzi, like other pugnacious players such as Dimitri Payet, Alexis Sanchez, Sead Kolasinac or Cengiz Ünder, was clearly not selected by OM this summer. And it is on the side of Rome, in the ranks of Lazio, that the person concerned is flourishing today. Obviously without bitterness.
During an interview given to Canal+ and broadcast on Sunday evening, the international midfielder once again proclaims his attachment to the sky and white jersey, he who was partly trained at PSG but has always had an interest in Marseille and its flagship club . “ I really fell in love with this club, I will stay in Marseille for life, that’s for sure “, he trumpets.
“I don’t blame anyone”
Therefore, seeing Mattéo Guendouzi one day at OM does not seem totally illusory. Loaned to Lazio with a mandatory purchase option that could bring the deal to 18 million euros – bonus included – the former Gunner admits it himself. “ Return to OM one day? That’s a great question! Today I am very happy at Lazio, but everyone knows the attachment I have for OM and its supporters, for the city. So obviously, this is something that could happen in the future… »
This will probably not be in the short term, however. “ I have no regrets about leaving OM. I came for a very attractive game project, but in my second season and the start of the third, things had started to change. When you change coach, it necessarily changes team, style of play… it suits some, others less so. I don’t blame anyone, I’m very happy with what I did there. I would have liked to bring home a trophy, it’s something that was close to my heart, but we didn’t manage to do it. Now, I only remember the positive from my time at OM. »
