He is one of the big losers from the arrival of Marcelino this summer on the OM bench. Manager of the Marseille club in recent seasons, Matteo Guendouzi was finally loaned to Lazio Rome at the very end of the summer transfer window. And for the moment, his season in the transalpine capital is a success. Important in the eyes of Maurizio Sarri, the 25-year-old French international has been demoted to the bench since the arrival of Igor Tudor. But while relations between the two men are not the most cordial in the world since their tumultuous cohabitation on the Canebière, the future of the midfielder most likely lies in Rome. The Laziale club has also set two conditions to permanently recruit the former Arsenal player.
Indeed, according to RMC, one of them is for Lazio to finish in the top 10 of Serie A. Currently seventh, the Roman club is well on its way to achieving this objective while it is nine points ahead of Monza, eleventh. The other condition is that Lazio wins the Italian Cup. After losing in the semi-final first leg against Juventus Turin, they will have to overcome a two-goal deficit to qualify this Tuesday in Rome. Our colleagues add that the fulfillment of one of his two conditions will be enough for the former Hertha Berlin to join Lazio permanently. In other words, there is a good chance that Matteo Guendouzi will stay in the Italian capital next year. From then on, OM will recover 13 million euros in this transfer.
