OFFICIAL: OM recruits a legend

Olympique de Marseille completed a final operation in the last minutes of the summer transfer window.

He had been part of the “lofters” gang for many weeks, but we had to wait until the last minutes of this summer transfer window to find out where he ended up: Samuel Gigot is leaving theMarseille Olympics to cross the Alps.
The Marseille club announced this Friday evening the departure of its central defender for Lazio Rome. Gigot is signing with the Italian club on loan with an option to buy.

Gigot in the footsteps of Guendouzi

” Central defender Samuel Gigot is loaned with an option to buy to Lazio Rome, can be read in an official press release from OM. Having arrived at Olympique de Marseille in 2022, Samuel Gigot will play in Italy in 2024-2025. The defender, born in Avignon, is on loan with an option to buy to Lazio Rome for the season that has just started.”

A trajectory that is not without recalling that of Mattéo Guendouzi, a strong link relegated in the hierarchy, pushed towards the exit and exfiltrated to the Biancocelesti. As a reminder, Gigot had worn the captain’s armband last season. Roberto De Zerbi did not count on the Frenchman, whose contract expires in a year.
