A few months after his arrival at Olympique de Marseille, Brazilian left back Renan Lodi was transferred to Al-Hilal last January. The Marseille club had negotiated a deal worth 23 million euros. A strange amount that the Saudis are already starting to regret.
Despite the renewed confidence of owner Frank McCourt, Pablo Longoria is regularly confronted with criticism. Many criticize him for the composition of an insufficient group to perform well on all counts this season. When others point out his inability to make big sales on the transfer market. The president of Olympique de Marseille still hit hard last January. Without anyone expecting it, the Spanish leader completed the transfer of Renan Lodi to Al-Hilal for 23 million euros.
Renan Lodi already on the market
A huge added value given that the left back, who arrived a few months earlier, had only cost 13 million euros. Suffice to say that Olympique de Marseille did not hesitate to accept the offer. One wonders why the Saudi club decided to bet so much on the Brazilian international. We cannot say that Renan Lodi broke the screen during his first months in the Marseille city. It is clear that Al-Hilal overpaid for this transfer and the Saudis quickly noticed this.
🚨💰 #AlHilal are open to evaluating offers for Renan #Lodi.

Indeed, journalist Rudy Galetti tells us that the resident of the Saudi Pro League is already opening the door to the departure of his recruit. In the event of a proposal for the former Marseillais, regularly aligned since his signing until 2027, a reflection will be carried out internally. In other words, the player who played for Atlético Madrid will not be selected this summer, quite the contrary… This will perhaps be the opportunity for him to return to Europe. In any case, Al-Hilal risks not recovering all the money bet on Renan Lodi.
