It’s no secret that Olympique de Marseille wanted to attract Daniel Wass (32 years old, 3 games and 1 goal in La Liga this season) during the summer transfer window. Able to play right side, right winger or central midfielder, the Dane had an ideal profile for the system of Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli.
The former player of Evian Thonon Gaillard was also in agreement to return to Ligue 1. He had made the choice to engage with OM and spent a month demanding his departure from his leaders to join the South of France. Without ever seeing his club drop ballast.
However, the door was not completely closed. If Valencia let filter a price of 8 million euros in the media, President Anil Murthy had in mind a sum of 6 M € to agree to negotiate, explains Marca. An amount that OM have never reached since their Marseille counterpart Pablo Longoria offered € 900,000 and then € 1.5 million to buy back the last year of Wass’s contract. Suffice to say that the positions of the two parties have remained very different.
