Christophe Dugarry is certainly not a journalist. The 98 world champion makes a high -quality TV consultant and an excellent polemicist on the radio, in the Jérôme Rothen show on RMC. But from there to be mistaken in the big widths on the financial situation of football in France … At the time of debriefing the new defeat of OM against PSG, Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes (3-1), “Duga” pointed out the work of Roberto de Zerbi (“I don't see an incredible idea, his sterile possession tires me ) And also pointed out that the budget of the Marseille club was “The same as Aston Villa which is in the quarterfinals of the Champions League”.
The former striker provoked the anger of the Marseille supporters, especially on social networks. As a reminder, it was by joining Olympique de Marseille trained by Rolland Courbis in December 1997, when he sank on the Barça bench, that Christophe Dugarry was able to relaunch his career and then be part of the 22 group of Aimé Jacquet for the 98 World Cup, thus winning the Grail alongside his great friend Zinédine Zidane.
The figures Sessomment Dugarry
The amounts concerning the budgets of Premier League clubs are not clear, but Aston Villa is much more powerful financially than OM. Obviously since it is a solid Premier League club, which has therefore ended in the top 4 last season to find the C1. TV rights in the English championship exceed one billion euros per season (and will approach two billion next season), while those in Ligue 1 do not even reach 500 million. The Birmingham club has made two transfers to more than 50 million euros in recent seasons (Moussa Diaby and Amadou Onana) and has a wage bill at 12 million euros per month against 4.7 for Marseille. The respective financial strike forces are not comparable, contrary to what inin Christophe Dugarry.
In the workforce of the next opponent of PSG in LDC, in addition to a Marcus Rashford whose salary XXL is paid in part by Manchester United, Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans, Emiliano Martinez, Amadou Onana, Donyell Malen (recruited for 25 million euros this winter), Ollie Watkins, Lucas Digne, Leon Bailey, John McGinn and Marco Asensio are paid 7 to 9 million euros gross per year, according to Capology.com. When OM, according to the same source, has only three players with an annual salary at 5 million (Adrien Rabiot, Pierre-Emile Hojberg and Geoffrey Kondogbia). That said, Pablo Longoria has also broken his piggy bank in recent years with important recruitments to OM and some choices have not been conclusive at all (Vitinha and Elie Wahi).
