It is a transaction that comes as a relief to all parties: on Wednesday, theMarseille Olympics announced the transfer of Jordan Veretout to Olympique Lyonnais. The French international signed with Les Gones for a fee of 4 million euros, to which is added a bonus of 3 million euros and a percentage on resale.
These latest parameters confirm the purely economic stakes of this case. Exemplary on the field last season, Veretout had been placed in the loft by his management because his contract expired in a year. The status quo of his situation had even prompted some supporters to harass him on social networks, before OM came to his defense
in an official press release.
Veretout retains the positive
An episode that Jordan Veretout has already forgotten. Determined to turn the page, the 2022 vice-world champion spoke out by posting a touching message on his Instagram account. It’s time for me to say goodbye. I spent two great seasons here, I experienced strong emotions, I always tried to respect the values of the club and not cheat” he wrote.
” I experienced strong emotions during these 2 years with the birth of my son in Marseille, the discovery of the Champions League which was a childhood dream for me, the epic in the Europa League and the warm evenings at the Vélodrome…, continued Veretout. I would like to thank you first of all, the supporters, those who make this club live and who are its identity. You have supported me during these 2 seasons and I thank you for your support. Thank you also to my teammates and the staff who supervised us. A new adventure is coming up for me and I wish you all the best and a great season.“, concluded the neo-Lyonnais.
