In the end, Longoria and OM made a nice €0 transfer!
The teammates of Alexis Sanchez and Mattéo Guendouzi got their second half of the season off to a perfect start, both in Ligue 1 and in the Coupe de France, when they hosted Stade Rennais on their lawn at the Orange Vélodrome this Friday evening.
Among the in-form playersOM for several games, we find a certain Sead Kolasinac (29), who had however greatly disappointed last season under the orders of Jorge Sampaoli and who was often very degraded by a large majority of the Marseille public. Rightly so, let’s be honest…
But since the arrival of Igor Tudor on the bench of the Marseille club, Sead Kolasinac has found a much more interesting level and has even been decisive since the start of this 2022-2023 financial year (3 goals and 1 assist in 15 League 1). And this to such an extent that Pablo Longoria would have produced discussions with his representatives about a possible extension to OM, as revealed by our colleagues from foot market !
Arrived in Marseille from Arsenal on a free transfer just a year ago, i.e. for €0, the Bosnian international (51 caps) has the advantage of being able to demonstrate both as a piston / left side and as a to the position of central defender (in the left axis of the central hinge). A versatility that appeals strongly to Pablo Longoria and Igor Tudor.
Hence the desire of the OM board to see him extend his contract as quickly as possible on the Cannebière side… Case to follow for the former Schalke 04 player!
