Among OM’s main unwanted recruits this summer, Chancel Mbemba and Jordan Veretout are the subject of concrete offers.
It took until the official closing of the transfer market last Friday to see things speed up in the Veretout case. Placed on the list of transferable players as soon as the season resumed in early July, the former Romain quickly learned that his future at OM was blocked, especially when Roberto De Zerbi chose to do without his services during the preparation matches.
After rejecting a nice offer from the Middle East, Jordan Veretout is preparing to take the step of leaving, as a joker because he is outside the regulatory deadline, and this in favor of OL. In search of an experienced midfielder, the Gones have set their sights on the player trained in Nantes, and now aged 31. With a contractual agreement already found.
Mbemba, it’s still stuck
According to L’Equipe, Jordan Veretout has agreed to lower his salary to put himself within the reach of Lyon. All that remains is to find common ground with OM, who are hoping for at least 8 million euros for this transfer. A sum that was also expected for Chancel Mbemba, another high-calibre Marseille player.
Here the file turns out to be much more thorny, since no one at this time is ready to consent to the slightest effort. According to the latest news, the 30-year-old Congolese defender has an offer from Al-Shabab on the table, but the interested party is greedy. To the 4 million annual salary and 2 million signing bonus offered, Chancel Mbemba responded with demands set at 5 million salary and 3 million bonus. However, OM intends to recover its share as well, the player remaining under contract until June 2025.
