OM is preparing to record its most important transfer since the arrival of Frank McCourt at its head.
OM may not be very good at recruiting these days, but in terms of sales there is not much that we can reproach the management in place. The Marseille club is even on the verge of achieving its best sales in six and a half years. That is to say since Frank McCourt arrived at the Vélodrome.
OM signs a great economic feat
The player who should allow Marseille to carry out this operation is the Brazilian Renan Lodi. According to Foot Mercato, the former Atlético Madrid player will be sold to Al-Hilal for an amount of 22 million euros. There will also be 3 million euros which will be easily attainable.
In the history of the club, there are only three players that OM have sold for a higher amount: Michy Batshuayi (€39M), Didider Drogba (€38.5M) and Franck Ribéry (€30M). Previously, the best sale of OM under the direction of its American businessman was that of Frank Anguissa (€24.8M in 2018).
On Renan Lodi, OM recorded a capital gain of 12 million euros and in just six months. The Auriverde international, as a reminder, only arrived at the club last summer from Atlético. Sportingly, it still remains a loss. Although having missed the last match against Strasbourg, he remains on the 5the most used player in the Olympian squad this season (23 matches, 1905 minutes played).
