Moroccan international escapes Marseille
OM Mercato: Announced on the shelves of Marseille, Romain Saïss has opted for an exotic championship for the rest of his career.
OM Mercato: The signing of Romain Saïss formalized at Besiktas
Olympique de Marseille receives little good news at the start of the summer transfer window. Loaned this season by Arsenal, Guillaume Saliba recently announced his desire to return to the Gunners. The neo-international tricolor has just completed a full season with OM. So much so that a transfer from Saliba to Marseille was mentioned. In addition to this track, the Marseille club has seen Muhammad Ali Cho fly to Spain. The SCO Angers striker announced in the sights of the Olympians has signed up with Real Sociedad. The Provençal club has recorded another bad news in recent hours. Targeted to compensate for the departure of Saliba, Romain Saiss decided to join the Besiktas Turks.
A zero euro track flies to Marseille
The qualification of Olympique de Marseille for the next Champions League will not have been enough to seduce Romain Saïss. Sixth in the Super Lig, the Istanbul club has formalized the signing of the 32-year-old central defender. The Moroccan international arrives free from Wolverhampton where he was out of contract. For his last season with the Premier League resident, the defender targeted by OM played 32 games and scored 3 goals. According to the press release published by Besiktas, Saïss signed up for two years, plus an optional one. After France and England, the Moroccan is therefore preparing to discover the third championship of his career.
Marseille for its part must activate to strengthen. In addition to the central defense, OM must also recruit in the midfield following the departure of Boubacar Kamara. At the end of the contract, the kid joined Aston Villa for free this summer. Yet another blow for Pablo Longoria who tried in vain to extend the crack.
