After a summer marked by numerous financial constraints, OM continues to downsize its workforce. Forced to make sales in order to balance its accounts and meet the economic requirements of the club, Marseille is continuing its departures operation. After several important movements, it is now Facundo Medina who is preparing to leave La Canebière, only a year after his arrival.
According to our information, an agreement has been reached between OM and Bayer Leverkusen for the transfer of the Argentine defender. The operation is estimated at 25 million euros, bonus included. The Albiceleste international must now commit to the next five seasons with the German club, which had made it a priority to strengthen its defense.
OM completes a great sale
On the player’s side, the choice had already been made several days ago. The Argentinian international, who played for RC Lens, absolutely wanted to join Bayer Leverkusen. Seduced by the sporting project of the Bundesliga resident, the 27-year-old defender quickly gave priority to the German club.
For OM, this sale represents a significant breath of financial oxygen. In addition to reducing the payroll, this transfer allows Marseille managers to receive significant compensation, essential in their summer strategy. The formalization of the transfer of Facundo Medina is now imminent and will therefore be good for Marseille’s finances. Even if there will still be departures this summer.
