Football OM – OM: Guendouzi will leave, Marseille understood
OM are particularly active this winter on the transfer market. On the departure side, Mattéo Guendouzi gives Marseille fans a few sweats.
Igor Tudor and his men are making a very good start to the year 2023 by chaining successes. L’OM is still in the race in Ligue 1 but also in the Coupe de France. The Phocaeans hope to keep the rhythm in the coming weeks. But that will undoubtedly depend on the end of the winter transfer window in Marseille. If OM seem to have completed the file for Hellas Verona midfielder, Ivan Ilic against a check for more than 15 million euros, this upcoming arrival is undoubtedly an anticipation of a big departure, that of Mattéo Guendouzi … In addition to Aston Villa, it is now West Ham who entered the race. The opportunity for Mathieu Grégoire to take stock of the vice-champion of the French world.

During an intervention on The Channel The Team, the journalist indeed says more about Guendouzi’s future at OM. And a departure is inevitable. “Guendouzi, we know that English clubs like Aston Villa or West Ham are ready to draw big offers but today we are not there yet. On the OM side, we can clearly see that there is the Ilic file which should be tied up for this summer around €16m + €3m in bonuses. Ilic may be Guendouzi’s replacement in the minds of Marseille leaders. It can also mean that we open the door to a departure. He won’t fire at OM for long, but maybe this summer.”, said Mathieu Grégoire, who should therefore enlighten OM fans on the Guendouzi case, who has no plans to make old bones on the Canebière, whether this winter or this summer. As often, Pablo Longoria already seems to have foreseen the blow. At the end of the contract in June 2025, Guendouzi should also allow OM to replenish its coffers, he who appears at nearly 30 million euros.
