OM intends to spend the second on the transfer market. The Marseille club would not even be far from completing the arrival of Geoffrey Kondogbia.
Marcelino will therefore be responsible for taking over from Igor Tudor at OM. The Spanish coach knows that he will be expected at the turn and that he will have to be effective, with Pablo Longoria, in order to best strengthen the Marseille workforce this summer. There is no shortage of names associated with OM at the start of the transfer window. But one profile is particularly appealing, that of Geoffrey Kondogbia. The Atlético midfielder is in the process of leaving and wants to come and take up the Marseille challenge. Despite the end of his contract in June 2024 and his little playing time, the Colchoneros do not want to give OM any gift.
Kondogbia, nothing done
Geoffrey Kondogbia, objectivo of the Olympique Marsella. Abiertas conversations. Amortización pendiente of 2.5 M€. Acaba contracted in 2024. Se podría negociar una salida por 8 M€. Nada cerrado aun. If finally dirty traspasado, el Valencia will obtain between 10-15% of the sale.

If the transfer is well under way, it is still far from complete if we are to believe information from Ruben Oria. The journalist confirms that Kondogbia is indeed a target of Olympique de Marseille for this summer and that negotiations have been opened. However, Oria specifies that to let go of Kondogbia, Atlético Madrid requires an amount of 8 million euros and that nothing has been concluded for the moment. “If he is finally transferred, Valencia would get between 10 and 15% of the sale”also specifies the journalist passed by Sport. So a little more patience for OM and their fans in the Kondogbia case. Last season, the former Lens had only taken part in 27 meetings in all competitions. At OM, he intends to relaunch his career in Ligue 1. But Pablo Longoria will still have to work with Atlético to complete the file. Trainer in length will not be favorable to the Phocaeans this summer, while OM must play in the Champions League play-offs from next August.
