Under contract with Sassuolo, down to Serie B, Maxime Lopez will not stay in this club. His name is mentioned on the side of Olympique de Marseille.
Having left OM to join Sassuolo in 2021, Maxime Lopez only has one year left on his contract with the Italian club where he had the opportunity to work under Roberto de Zerbi. After a one-season loan to Fiorentina, the midfielder has returned to his club, which has been relegated to Serie B. In other words, the chances of seeing the Marseille native continue at Sassuolo are low, if not non-existent. Especially since rumors are growing about the possibility of Roberto de Zerbib advising Pablo Longoria to make an offer to his former club to bring back Maxime Lopez, who had exploded when De Zerbi was on the Sassuolo bench. These rumors have reached Italy, since the site Sassuolonews.net confirms that Lopez’s departure for OM would not be a real surprise.
De Zerbi suggests Maxime Lopez to OM
Trained at Olympique de Marseille, the 26-year-old midfielder would be a very valuable reinforcement for the OM version of De Zerbi. “ Maxime Lopez’s return to Marseille, the club where he grew up as a footballer, would be a strategic decision on the part of De Zerbi, who already coached the player during his time at Sassuolo. De Zerbi knows the qualities of the French midfielder well and could see in him a key element to strengthen the midfield of Olympique de Marseille. During his time at Sassuolo, Lopez has proven to be a quality midfielder with excellent vision of the game. His technical and tactical qualities make him a valuable player, capable of adapting to different game situations and giving balance to the team “, specifies our Italian colleague, who however specifies that at the moment nothing is done. It is true that before signing Maxime Lopez, OM must already finalize the arrival of Roberto de Zerbi.
