The main topic of this end of the transfer window for Olympique de Marseille with the arrival of a new striker (an agreement with Neil Maupay has been reached), the lofteurs will be at the heart of the news by Friday evening 11pm. The objective for the Marseille club being to find exit doors for Chancel Mbemba, Jordan Veretout, Azzedine Ounahi and Samuel Gigot.
For the latter, the situation is relatively simple since he has a concrete approach from Lazio Rome. OM and the Italian club have been discussing since Monday the conditions of a transfer of the former Spartak Moscow defender who still has two years of contract in Marseille. As we have already explained to you, the main interested party is waiting for a sign from the Middle East and more precisely from Saudi Arabia and the Emirates.
Lazio Rome if the Middle East does not arrive…
However, the approaches are still not there and the Marseille number 4 has given himself a deadline of this evening to decide on his future. According to our information, if no concrete sign arrives from the Middle East, then the player will be inclined to join Lazio Rome who are already ready to welcome him and who remain a very good exit door for the player who played 33 matches in all competitions with OM last year.
From then on, we are indeed heading towards a departure of the Spartan in the last few cables of the summer transfer window unless there is an incredible turnaround. Now it remains to be seen where the 30-year-old central defender will end up, under contract with OM, let us remember, until June 2025 with OM.
