While Bayern follows Jonathan Clauss, the French international should stay at OM this winter, but could leave this summer.
The expression “everything moves very quickly in football” could easily be symbolized by Jonathan Claus. While he was still playing in CFA2 in 2016, the right back is today an indisputable starter at theOlympic Marseille and little by little makes his place in the eleven of theFrench team. The icing on the cake is that the native of Strasbourg is now being courted by major European teams, like the Bayern Munich who has expressed his interest at the start of the winter transfer window.
No departure this winter
However, the 31-year-old is not expected to leave OM, at least not this winter. As mentioned The Team in this Friday’s edition, the Marseille club does not intend to part with its number 7 this winter unless there is an exceptional offer, which is not typical of Bayern, especially for a player of his age. For his part, Clauss would not like to risk leaving six months before the Euro when a place in Didier Deschamps’ list is open to him. The former Lensois is aware that a departure for Bavaria would be very risky if he does not quickly manage to adapt to his new environment and to pressure which will be even greater than in Marseille.

He hopes to have a good second half of the season with Marseille with several collective objectives such as qualification for the Champions League but also a good run in the Coupe de France and the Europa League. As an individual, we will have to continue to perform in view of the Euro, he who already has 7 assists this season and who has shown his ability to adapt to different playing systems.
But in June, the situation will be different for its future. While he will only have one year left on his contract with OM, Bayern could return to the charge and will even have an advantage since it will be the last opportunity to get a good price if Clauss does not It hasn’t been extended since then. For the right-back, the reflection could be great since this could be his last chance to join a European big name.
