Announced close to RC Lens yesterday Monday, the former OM goalkeeper, Pau Lopez, is not yet close to an agreement with the Artesian club. And we understand better why.
We learned yesterday Monday: Pau Lopez, the former OM goalkeeper, now on loan to the Spanish club Girona, could return to Ligue 1. Not in the Marseille club, to which he belongs for another ten years. eight months, but at RC Lens which, as you know, is looking for a replacement for Brice Samba, announced at Stade Rennais during this winter transfer window.
If the Pau Lopez solution remains a strong possibility for the Lensois club, a major concern is currently blocking the file. A problem that is quite easy to guess: the salary of the Spanish goalkeeper. Estimated at 300,000 euros. However, as the Marseille daily La Provence points out, Pablo Longoria, the president of OM, could not be clearer: the salary must be entirely covered by RC Lens and nothing by Olympique de Marseille.
Other clubs are interested
This is why Lensois leaders are still slowing down on the issue. The Marseille daily also specifies that other clubs have recently come to the news on this very specific issue. But RC Lens remains the overwhelming favorite at this time.
To be continued.
