Olympique de Marseille would have decided to drop the matter in a priority case. The Phocéens could not match the salary of a Premier League midfielder.
Olympique de Marseille certainly has a transfer budget but cannot align with salary demands as planned. We know that OM has anticipated a 30% drop in its payroll and the arrival of a Premier League midfielder like Wilfried Ndidi can hardly fit with this desire.
Provence announces that Marseille tried the trick without going any further. The Nigerian international would have asked for fees that were far too high for the Marseille grid. Being free from any contract, he would try to obtain a fairly expensive monthly check. The file would therefore be put aside in favor of another more promising one.
Fabrizio Romano et Foot Market announce the imminent arrival of Ismaël Koné. The Watford midfielder would have given his final agreement to join La Canebière and his club would agree to sell him for 12 million euros. The Canadian international played 42 Championship matches last season with a huge contribution as a sentinel.
Koné would have rejected proposals from West Ham and AS Rome in favor of Roberto De Zerbi’s OM for this summer.
