OM wants to sell Samuel Gigot and has reached an agreement to this effect with a Turkish team. The player, for his part, does not see it that way and a departure has not yet been confirmed.
The information that everyone was impatiently awaiting from Olympique de Marseille has finally arrived. After several weeks of waiting, Roberto De Zerbi signed his three-season contract with OM. After a disappointing season last year marked by the arrival of four different coaches, Pablo Longoria is banking on continuity with the Italian coach who left Brighton after less than two years in England. Now, OM, which is expecting around ten recruits during the off-season, wants to downsize its squad and Iliman Ndiaye must sign for Everton in the coming hours for a sum of 18.5 million euros excluding bonus. Another player who can potentially leave the ship, Samuel Gigot. OM also accepted an offer from Trabzonspor, a team playing in the Turkish first division, for the transfer of the central defender. An operation put on hold by the player who does not currently wish to join Turkey.
Gigot delays and wants to speak to De Zerbi
La Provence has informed us in the last few hours that despite the agreement between the two clubs for compensation of around 4 million euros, the 30-year-old player first wants to speak to De Zerbi to find out what he intends to do with him. His priority is to stay in his favorite club and the file is currently on standby. The different parties are likely to be fixed very quickly since the resumption of training is scheduled for this Monday, July 1st. The former pillar of Lokomotiv Moscow will know if he still has his place in the project or if he will be forced to pack his bags and go back abroad where he spent the majority of his career with stints in Russia therefore but also in Belgium. In any case, the Marseille management has already anticipated a possible future departure of Gigot and the arrival of Lilian Brassier, solid central defender of Stade Brestois, must be concluded quickly for a sum of 10 million euros.
