Mercato – OM: twists and turns for Caleta-Car and Alvaro? – Soccer

Pushed out last summer, Duje Caleta-Car could expect the same treatment this winter. However, Olympique de Marseille are not sure they want to sell their Croatian central defender. While the Spaniard Alvaro Gonzalez, he is approaching the exit.

Duje Caleta-Car could once again remain OM.

The goal has not changed for Pablo Longoria. In failure in this area last summer, the president of the Olympique de Marseille still has to record sales.

And the candidates for departure remain more or less the same compared to the previous transfer window.

Uncertainty around Caleta-Car

With the exception of the Boubacar Kamara case, which seems to have left to honor his last months of contract, Duje Caleta-Car could expect to be pushed out again. Its good market value is a golden opportunity for management.

Yet La Provence describes an uncertain situation for the Croatian. There has been talk of an interest in Newcastle for a few days. But to believe the regional daily, all options are open for Caleta-Car, including the choice to keep it. It must be said that the ex-undesirable has found a good level in recent months. So much so that a replacement with similar performance would probably be difficult to find.

Alvaro vexed, but interested in Valencia

It wouldn’t be so surprising if coach Jorge Sampaoli was worried about losing him. On the other hand, the technician would probably have less trouble separating from Alvaro Gonzalez. The Spaniard, extended until 2024 last May, is not a holder this season and his superiors will not hold him back. This is why Bordeaux, Saint-Etienne and Strasbourg took information. More or less concrete tracks which, according to RMC, do not interest the Marseillais, annoyed to be announced at the start despite his attachment to the club.

Alvaro thinks he deserves a better quality club, and would not be indifferent to the approach of FC Valencia. Indeed, the current 10th in La Liga would discuss with the player’s entourage, aware that his low playing time should not increase. Note that OM and Valencia have not entered into any negotiations for the moment. But the source indicates that a loan with an option to buy could satisfy all parties, starting with Marseille which must reduce its payroll. A central defender could therefore leave Marseille, but not necessarily the one we expected.
