It's an almost confirmed arrival for OM in the winter transfer window. An arrival or rather a return of loan. While the goalkeeper position is largely filled by Geronimo Rulli, a big player in Marseille's good start to the season and completed by Ruben Blanco and Jeffrey de Lange, another goalkeeper could appear at the Commanderie. Loaned to Girona this summer, Pau Lopez is having a difficult experience in Catalonia since he only played one match during the 32nd final of the Copa del Rey and was unable to prevent the elimination of his team against UD Logrones, fourth division club. The 30-year-old goalkeeper cannot convince his coach Michel and the Catalan club would like to get rid of him in order to recruit another goalkeeper to compete with Paulo Gazzaniga.
Return to OM this winter?
Girona's wish is therefore to break its loan with the Iberian goalkeeper and send him back to Olympique de Marseille this winter. A new player to manage in Roberto de Zerbi's squad who will have to find him a role within the team or show him the way to the door because the owner Franck Mc Court will not hesitate to sell the elements which do not do not meet the club's expectations. In addition, he has a heavy salary as he earns 3.8 million euros per year. The Marseille club will therefore certainly have to find a base for him so as not to see his payroll increase or refuse the end of the loan and leave him in his training club.

To summarize
Loaned by OM to Girona, goalkeeper Pau Lopez does not play for the Catalan club and could make his return to Marseille sooner than expected. With only one match played and the recruitment of another goalkeeper desired by the Gironese management, the 30-year-old Spaniard's loan should be terminated this winter.
