OM – Tabanou confirms having failed OM

In The TeamFranck Tabanou remembered his long career spent in the jerseys of Toulouse, Saint-Étienne, Swansea, Grenade and Guingamp. The former midfielder notably confirmed having refused a loan to OM in 2016: “After my loan to Saint-Étienne from Swansea, the club told me that they were not counting on me. I then have two years of contract left. It’s August 31, I’m at a restaurant with my wife. My agent calls me to tell me that Granada is interested and Marseille too. OM offered a loan; I preferred a transfer. But I didn’t even wait for their response, I chose Spain and a championship that suited me better. »

Franck Tabanou finally retired in 2019, after his time at EAG. He was then 30 years old.
