Benatia's explanations on the departure of Renan Lodi
“For us it was simple, we didn't want to touch the defensive phase in this transfer window until this offer for Renan Lodi from Al-Hilalexplained Mehdi Benatia at the microphone of Canal +. We spoke about it with the president and he told us that we were not touching because we had told the coach that we would not sell behind. Unfortunately the player found out through his agent that there was this offer. It's three or four times the salary. So he caught the coach after the Thionville match and told him “listen I have an offer apparently you don’t want to accept when I’m going to win four times as much. You have to let me go. » The next day, the coach catches us with the president and tells us “he’s coming to talk to me about money, I’m a football coach, I don’t like that. He is a starter but if his mind is elsewhere, we must let him go. You should not keep a player at OM, if he doesn't want to be here added the Marseille leader.
