After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
This Wednesday, the transfer window was shaken by an unexpected press release from RC Lens. Indeed, the Sang et Or finally made it known that the arrival of Pau Lopez was finally canceled after having announced it 24 hours ago. A hard blow for the northern club, but it would also not be without consequences for OM, particularly from an economic point of view.
We thought the guardians’ soap opera ended at RC Lens and ultimately no. While the Blood and Gold have transferred Brice Samba this Wednesday at Rennesthey had assured his succession on Tuesday by announcing the loan of Pau Lopez. The latter had then seen his loan from theABOUT has Gérone be broken to allow him to join the Sang et Or. But this Wednesday evening, the RC Lens released an incredible statement about Paul Lopez : « While a total agreement had been reached between the Racing Club de Lens, Olympique de Marseille and Pau Lopez, the arrival of the Spanish international was canceled. Girona FC informed Olympique de Marseille today of its firm desire to keep the player until January 29, an unacceptable condition for Racing which thus renounces this signing ».
OM impacted
Paul Lopez will therefore not play with the RC Lens for this second part of the season. If this is bad news for the Sang et Or, it would also be bad news for theABOUTwho would then see a nice sum slip right under his nose. Indeed, at the time of the year of the Spaniard’s loan to Lensit was explained by certain media that the operation was profitable and that it should then bring in €4M for the Marseille club. With the imbroglio, these €4M go up in smoke for theABOUT.
Explanations from Spain
Faced with this incredible turnaround in the situation with Paul Lopezin Spain, we shed light on what happened to get there. Relief made it known that Gérone had given his agreement to the Spaniard to undergo his medical examination with the RC Lensbut at no time did the Catalan club sign the termination of its loan. Thus, when engaging with the Sang et Or, Paul Lopez therefore still belonged to Gérone where theABOUT loaned it last summer.
