More movement is expected at Olympique de Marseille before the summer transfer window closes. The Marseille club has already completed the transfers of Mason Greenwood, Ismaël Koné, Bamo Meïté, Gerónimo Rulli, Derek Cornelius, Jeffrey de Lange, as well as the loan arrivals of Valentín Carboni, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, and Lilian Brassier.
However, the OM management plans to part ways with several players considered undesirable. Despite everything, Marseille president Pablo Longoria was keen to reassure by stating that the contracts of these players will be respected.
Longoria announces the color
“The strategy with them if they stay? When a club makes investments in players, terminating contracts… I don’t know any club in the world that terminates the contracts of its players. I don’t know if these are the intentions of the entourages of our players, but in an economic model, it makes no sense to even think about that,” judged the boss of Ciel et Blanc.
And Longoria continued: “There is a work charter, there is a charter for professional players, so the club is respectful. Respectful of the rules and the players, because they have contracts with OM. It is also true that the players are perfectly aware of the situation. Those who do not fit into the technical plan, they will not be on the field. But respectful of the players’ rights.”
