the great ambitions of Amine Harit for his return to Marseille
His signature was formalized 45 minutes after the closing of the transfer market: Moroccan attacking midfielder Amine Harit returns to Olympique de Marseille on loan. Unlike last season, his arrival in the Marseille city is this time accompanied by a purchase option estimated at 5 million euros. This clause will be waived by the Olympian club if the 25-year-old contests 15 matches in the blue and white jersey. A return to Marseille which is good for the main interested party.
“I feel joy, pride, he first told the club’s official media. I had a taste of unfinished business after the magnificent past season, and to be back at home, it does me the greatest good. (…) We end on a good note (last season, editor’s note), I end the season well. I’m going to the selection, it’s going well too. Coming back to Marseille was what I wanted. All these emotions experienced throughout the season have been unforgettable for me and I wanted to relive them. I know it’s an emotional club and that’s what I’m looking for.”
“I don’t set myself a limit”
Amine Harit also took charge of the change of coach (Igor Tudor) and his new way of playing: “I watched all the games, I still have friends here so logically I followed the games. It’s a different style of game, a much more direct game, with a lot of intensity and pressure and it’s something that suits me thoroughly. I am a player who likes to carry me forward, who likes counter-attacks and transition games, so it can match. Anyway, given the person I am, I am not someone difficult so new or old, integration will be super easy.
Author of 5 goals and 4 assists during the last exercise in Ligue 1 under Jorge Sampaoli, the international with 14 selections is ready to be even more decisive: “I don’t set myself a limit, if I come back here, it’s with new perspectives. I would like to take a step forward in my career and I think I’m at the right club to do so. It’s a different season from last year, as there is the Champions League. Already playing a normal Ligue 1 match with Olympique de Marseille is something special, so the Champions League, I can’t imagine. A Vélodrome stadium on fire, it is for all these reasons that OM is different.
“The World Cup in Qatar? Of course it’s a goal… a World Cup, to have experienced one, it’s something unique and incomparable. It’s up to me to do the work at the club to aspire to a place in the selection. I made a very good rally at the end of the season, I left a good mark. But as we know in football, it’s only the present that counts, people don’t remember much of the past.”he then explained about his chances of competing in the Qatari World Cup in the jersey of the Atlas Lions, which will take place from November 20 to December 18 next.
