“There is a question in life. He is condemned ? Did he do something wrong? It’s a guess, I can guess about other things. Then there are other questions. Looking into the eyes, having ethics, values. You have to do things right. A rumor is a reflex of current life. Someone puts something in and everyone has to help themselves. Is judging someone morally acceptable? It takes reflection. People have to be respected.”. These were the words of Pablo Longoria on Wednesday, at a press conference, when he was asked about this controversy between Jordan Veretout and his beautiful family.
It must be said that on Monday evening, we revealed to you exclusively on Foot Market that it was burning for the arrival of the AS Roma player in Marseille, which had triggered strong reactions on social networks with the Marseille community. Undesirable in the eyes of José Mourinho, the midfielder trained in Nantes was at the heart of discussions already well advanced between the two formations. And according to our information, it is even recorded now: Veretout will be an OM player this season.
A loan that has a good chance of turning into a definitive purchase
We are able to confirm that a meeting will take place this afternoon to finalize the final details of the file. It is indeed a one-season loan, and Olympique de Marseille will pay the full salary of the 29-year-old, who played 36 Serie A games last season, and who was already followed by OM for a while now.
A purchase option has also been added to the deal, and it will be similar to that of Under and Pau Lopez, two other players who have recently arrived from La Louve. Once he has played 15 games in the Marseille tunic, Veretout will automatically become an OM player. A nice reinforcement for Igor Tudor and for the team in the south of France, which had not yet seen new midfielders arrive this summer following the departures of Bouba Kamara (Aston Villa) and Amine Harit (end of ready), while Mattéo Guendouzi was already present in the workforce last year.
