Pablo Longoria confirmed it the day before yesterday at a press conference. Olympique de Marseille is still struggling to get rid of its undesirables. “There are situations where we would like to go faster and it’s true that we have some delays on sales. We would have liked to give more speed to the releases.” Today, while he is due to present new recruits from 2:30 p.m., the president of the Phocéens could have some good news to announce.
After three seasons on the Canebière, Pau Lopez (29 years old) seems to have finally found a way out. Initially pushed by his management, the Spanish goalkeeper initially thought he would land in Como and join Cesc Fabregas’ team. But the deal fell through due to the financial demands of Lopez’s agent, who hoped that OM would compensate the difference between his protégé’s Marseille salary and the salary offered by the Italian team.
Pau Lopez back home?
A hiccup that did not change the situation for Lopez. Under contract until 2026, the former Giallorosso saw the arrival of the Argentinian Geronimo Rulli and the Dutchman Jeffrey de Lange. Put aside, Lopez should see his ordeal come to an end. The radio SER chain assures that Pau Lopez could return home, as OM is negotiating his departure to Girona! The Catalan club has the advantage of playing in the next Champions League and the City Football Group allows it to have the necessary liquidity to carry out this operation.
Nothing is 100% complete with the surprise team of the last Liga season, as two other Spanish clubs are on the lookout. The first is Valencia. The club is keeping an eye on the Marseillais in case of the departure of the Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili. Finally, Atlético de Madrid is also mentioned, as Lopez could become the understudy of Jan Oblak, given that the Romanian goalkeeper Horațiu Moldovan is discussing a departure to Leganés.
