Having just transferred from OM to OGC Nice for 5 million euros, Jonathan Clauss is leaving the Marseille club without any regrets.
The page has already been turned for Jonathan Clauss. After two seasons spent in Marseille, where he had one year left on his contract, the left-back has chosen to continue his career with Nice. There he will be reunited with his former coach at Lens, Franck Haise. A reassuring presence for the 31-year-old who wants to play in a more serene environment than at OM. This is what he explained on Wednesday at a press conference.
“Nice is a club that is growing. You can see that just by looking at the infrastructure, the results over the last few seasons and the fact that the club is playing in Europe.he declared, as if to tackle the Ciel et Blanc who, themselves, will not be playing in any continental competition in 2024-2025. I wanted a new project, new personal goals. (…) I am very happy. And it will allow me, after all these experiences, to bring here what I have taken elsewhere.
Jonathan Clauss relieved to leave OM
“It’s good for the club and especially for me”continued the French international, who did not play a single minute with the Blues during Euro 2024. A Jonathan Clauss relieved to no longer have to manage a Marseille context which has become heavy for six months and the violent charge of Medhi Benatia about his alleged lack of professionalism. “Indeed, that also played a role, it weighed in the balance”he admitted.
“I knew where I was going to set foot (in Marseille), I knew the environment and perhaps today I just need to find myself in work and seriousness. And avoid a little of the rumors that have come out, but which are part of the life of a football player”continued the new Aiglon who, as we will have understood, will not regret the Marseille formation. His transfer will have cost 5 million euros, bonuses included, to the OGCN.
