OM Mercato: Jordan Amavi joined Getafe
Placed in the list of undesirables since the start of the summer transfer window, Jordan Amavi saw his departure from Olympique de Marseille as inevitable. Dismissed from the OM group following his clash with the new Marseille coach Igor Tudorthe French left-back seemed for a time reluctant to leave the Marseille club, where he is under contract until 2025. But the good work of the president Pablo Longoria and his team ended up paying.
After several spectacular twists and turns, the Marseille management finally managed to finalize the departure of Jordan Amavi. Announced for a time on the side of Olympiakos or Dinamo Zagreb, the former defender of OGC Nice will continue his career in La Liga. He arrived in Madrid on Thursday and successfully completed his medical examination, before recently signing with Getafe on loan. “Good luck to Jordan Amavi. Our full-back is heading to Spain, for a loan from Getafe CF”published the Marseille club on his account Twitter.
OM Mercato: Other imminent departures in Marseille
Considered undesirable at Olympique de Marseille, Jordan Amavi will therefore try to relaunch his career in the Spanish championship. However, he will not be the only OM player on this last day of the summer transfer window. Other departures are imminent in Marseille, like Duje Caleta-Car who is close to signing for Southampton. The various parties are said to be finalizing the final administrative details for his transfer to the Saints.
The surprise undoubtedly comes from the file Bamba Dieng. Expected on the side of Leeds United, the Senegalese international should finally join OGC Nice. The Aiglons would have made a last minute offer in order to grill all the time on this file. A reversal of the situation which goes very badly on the side of the British leaders.
