OM has formalized in recent hours the arrival of Geoffrey Kondogbia from Atlético Madrid. The midfielder has signed a 3-season contract with the Marseille club.
Pablo Longoria takes his first shot of the summer with the signing of Geoffrey Kondogbia. The midfielder, in check at Atlético, wanted to take up the Marseille challenge. He has signed a 3-season contract with OM and will be responsible for bringing his experience to the major events that await OM in the coming weeks. He will also have to justify the investment placed in him. Because Kondogbia will have cost 8 million euros to the Phocaeans and will be able to enjoy a very pleasant salary on the Canebière. The Spanish press indicates that in Marseille, the former Valencia player will receive between 500 and 600,000 euros per month, while he received 358,000 euros at Atlético. What make some observers controversial in Marseille. This is the case of Thibaud Vézirian.

For TeamFootball, the journalist has indeed given his opinion on the subject. And he doesn’t understand how OM can pay so much for Kondogbia. ” A transfer of around €8m for this player, who is not categorized in the decisive elements of a team or who does not shine with his statistics, is a fairly fair price one year from the end of his contract. . On the other hand, if the information from the Spanish press is correct, and that his salary reaches a level of 500 to 600k euros per month, instead of the 358,000 euros monthly announced at Atlético, it is delusional. Geoffrey Kondogbia would therefore be among the mega stars of the workforce, without his level justifying it”, said Thibaud Vézirian in particular, impatient nevertheless to see what the 30-year-old player can bring to the collective of Marcelino, who demands a lot from his troops on the ground.
