Mercato OM : 3 English clubs on Guendouzi
Mattéo Guendouzi is expected to leave Marseille this summer and has several suitors in England.
For several months now, Mattéo Guendouzi has been announced as the big sale on which Pablo Longoria is betting to replenish the club's coffers. A little less essential than under Jorge Sampaoli, the 24-year-old French international is still one of the most used players this season by Igor Tudor with 38 games played (2665 minutes) for 5 goals and 4 assists.
In today's edition, L'Equipe dedicates a big article to the upcoming summer mercato of OM and confirms that the departure of Guendouzi is planned by the club this summer. Aston Villa, which is rising from its ashes under Unai Emery (the Villans are 6th in the Premier League), is still there, as is West Ham, which could lose Declan Rice this summer.
Premier League or Serie A for Guendouzi
Fourth in the Premier League for the moment and virtually qualified for the next Champions League, Newcastle is less "pressing", but is also interested in Guendouzi and has returned to the news recently according to L'Equipe. If the former Arsenal midfielder seems destined for a return to the Premier League, he is also followed by several Italian clubs according to the sports daily.
Regarding his price, L'Equipe does not give any indication, but it is probably around 30-35 million euros today, knowing that Guendouzi will have two more years of contract with OM this summer. No doubt that OM will do everything to raise the stakes, especially among English clubs.
