The OM squad, which will be turned upside down during the summer transfer window, is preparing to lose a first player.
The big summer cleaning announced at OM has already started. While Marseille is working hard to find a new coach, in order to replace Jean-Louis Gasset who has retired, the departure of a midfielder is clearly becoming clear within the Olympian squad. This is Pape Gueye, who will be at the end of his contract on June 30.
According to Relevo, the Senegalese international (25 years old) decided not to extend the adventure with Ciel et Blanc, whom he joined in 2020, and to join Villarreal. An operation which will therefore bring nothing to the Marseille club. The former Le Havre resident, who was also free when he arrived in the Old Port, will find a certain Marcelino in Spain.
The Iberian technician led OM at the very start of the season, before being let go by the leaders and replaced by Gennaro Gattuso. Pape Gueye, who will sign up for four years, will have his second experience in La Liga, having been loaned by the Olympians to Sevilla FC from January to June 2023 (16 matches, 1 goal).
