On the verge of completing the arrival of Gerson from Flamengo, Olympique de Marseille then hopes to play with another midfielder, Matto Guendouzi (Arsenal).
Guendouzi sees himself bouncing back Marseille.
Eager to satisfy their coach Jorge Sampaoli, Olympique de Marseille is particularly active even before the official opening of the transfer window Wednesday in France.
And the efforts of the Phocens leaders will soon pay off since OM is finally reaching the goal in its priority file, that of Flamengo midfielder, Gerson (24).
Gerson cheaper than expected
This Saturday, Provence and L’Equipe confirm that the two clubs have defined the outlines of an agreement for a transfer estimated by the sports newspaper between 15 and 20 million euros plus the percentages for resale. This is significantly less than the € 25 million plus € 5 million in bonuses mentioned by the Brazilian media. The two dailies evoke an officialization of the agreement expected by the end of the weekend.
There will still be one last detail to settle: the date of arrival of the Brazilian. Before joining Canebire, the player would indeed like to take part in the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores against Defensa y Justicia on July 15 and 22 with his current club and then play the Tokyo Olympic Games (July 22-August 7, 2021) with his country. For its part, OM do not want to hear about this scenario and demand to be able to count on its reinforcement as quickly as possible. A point of disagreement but nothing insurmountable a priori since one of the two parties should end up cracking …
Guendouzi wants to come OM
Once the South American recruited, the club phocen will not have finished its shopping in the midfield. L’Equipe confirms that the Matto Guendouzi track (22 years old) remains up-to-date and well under way. Back to Arsenal after his loan to Hertha Berlin, the former Lorient finds himself pushed towards the exit one year from the end of his contract.
The Habs have already met Olympian President Pablo Longoria and coach Sampaoli at the end of May and he gives his priority to OM, because of the prospect of playing in the Europa League and working with the Argentinian technician. While the contours of a future lease have even been defined, the Marseillais are currently negotiating with the Gunners. The signing of Gerson will then allow the Phoenicians to move forward in this dossier for which a favorable outcome is also hoped for in the coming weeks.
