A true soldier and lover of Olympique de Marseille, Samuel Gigot should not be long in trouble in the Marseille city, according to information from La Provence. The one who arrived from Spartak Moscow in 2022 for only €500,000 managed to establish himself in his favorite club and become one of the starting central players of this team. However, if his performances are still suitable, the Marseille management seems determined to part ways with him this summer. A departure before the end of June would not be excluded according to the daily which explains that the Turkish club Trabzonspor would be eyeing the French defender as would English clubs who would also carefully observe his situation. However, Pablo Longoria would hope to receive a “double-digit sum” for letting his center slip away. A high sum considering Gigot’s situation.
Gigot and Mbemba on departure
Samuel Gigot is entering his last year of contract which ends in June 2025 and is slowly approaching 31 years old. Securing 10 million euros for a player in such a situation therefore seems difficult and Longoria as well as Benatia will surely have to negotiate hard to get the best price from the former Arles player. But Gigot should not be the only Olympian defender to leave this summer. Indeed, Chancel Mbemba could also follow him to the airport, also being in his last year of contract. OM not wishing to extend them and preferring to bet on Léo Balerdi, the two Marseille rocks therefore seem to be off to a good start.
Supporter of En Avant de Guingamp, the best of the Breton clubs, I prefer to meet Yannis Salibur, Cristophe Kerbrat or Jeremy Sorbon rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos.
