While the 22-year-old Portuguese arrived from Arsenal is having a very good start to the season with OM, he spoke in the magazine of RMC Sports, on his frustration at not being able to stay in Marseille.

The young side already seems to have acclimatized to the South of France. Indeed, this one knows a very good start to the season and plays an important role in the system of Igor Tudor. The Portuguese has already scored three goals in six appearances, and intends to give his maximum to Olympique de Marseille. ” I came to Marseille to finally be able to play in my position, and I’m happy. »

The Portuguese full-back also says he needed to come to Marseille to regain playing time. I came to Marseille to play in the Champions League, in the Championship and in the cup. Marseille gave me this opportunity. At Arsenal, I would probably only have played in the coupe. Thus, in reporting on the treatment described that he would have undergone in England, Nuno Tavares also regrets their refusal to include a purchase option in the loan. ” When signing with OM, I wanted to have an option to buy, but Arsenal refused. With my agents, we always wanted this option to buy, but Arsenal never wanted “. It remains to be seen whether the Portuguese prodigy will become essential in this team to the point of becoming a priority target for the next summer transfer window of Olympique de Marseille.
