The winter transfer windowOlympic Marseille has in no way resembled a period of calm, particularly in the sense of departures. In addition to Vitinha, François Mughe and Renan Lodi, the names of Jonathan Clauss, Ismaïla Sarr, Pape Gueye and Leonardo Balerdi have also been associated with rumors of departure.
Balerdi happy at OM
Ultimately remaining, most of the players mentioned will have to win back Marseille supporters in the second half of the season. Regularly criticized by the latter, Balerdi never intended to leave, despite interest from Atlético Madrid, and was very firm on this subject at a press conference this Friday. “I told my agent that if there isn’t a 100% real offer, don’t tell me. There was some interest, but it wasn’t an offer. My agent told me to stay calm because it wasn’t important and the club said to keep me. I’m happy here”confided the Argentinian international.
Two days before a crucial trip to Olympique Lyonnais, the Olympian defender seems fully focused on OL and knows that this is a match as important as it is special. “This match, every season, you have to win it. For the fans, it’s a different match. You can have a less good season, but if you win this match, that’s good. Our group deserves more, no one cheats, we will go get it. We know that outside, it’s difficult for us, but we will try to reverse this trendhe assured. We have to finish well, in the top 4, to play in the Champions League. We have to win matches and if we start against Lyon, it’s magnificent”.
