Mercato: OM is cleaning up, OL is working hard for Benrahma... the hot issues of the day

The end of the soap opera is getting closer for Vitinha. A year after his arrival at OM, the Portuguese striker will already leave to sign for Genoa, as confirmed by Gianluca Di Marzio. A loan with a purchase option of 25 million euros would have been concluded between the two parties. “It’s very difficult for an attacker to establish himself at OM,” Pablo Longoria regretted Monday about the young 23-year-old attacker, who will never have lived up to the Olympian investment (32 million 'euros). His last failed outing at the Vélodrome against Monaco (2-2) therefore marks the end of a failed adventure with OM. According to RMC Sport, the number 9 was very emotional when saying goodbye, and leaving the Marseille locker room for which he was very popular.

This is not all regarding the degreasing operation, Pape Gueye and Jonathan Clauss are also targeted. For the first, he is suspended for his involvement in an illicit transfer case and the end of his contract in six months. The Senegalese midfielder (eliminated last night by the Ivory Coast) is pushed out by the Olympian management for having refused an offer of extension, reports L'Équipe in its edition of the day. “Gueye's non-response is not respecting the club,” said Pablo Longoria at a press conference on Monday. We hope that he can find an interesting way out for all parties by Thursday.”

Jonathan Clauss would also have been placed on the market According to L'Équipe, while the French international has a year and a half left on his contract. The daily explains that the Olympian management would criticize a lack of involvement on the part of the former Lensois, accused of potentially “taking it easy for the Euro”. Aged 31, Clauss has a market value of more than 10 million euros and was notably approached by Bayern Munich this winter, before the Bavarians turned to the younger Sacha Boey (23). RMC Sport adds that two English clubs as well as Galatasaray have “come to the information”, and that in the event of departure, his replacement could be the Rennais Lorenz Assignon.

Imminent outcome in the Saïd Benrahma case. Sky Sports and the Sun agree on a Lyon offer of just under 20 million euros about to be accepted by West Ham. “A few details remain to be resolved,” state the media, adding that “the player has not yet decided whether he wishes to join the Lyon team.” On Monday, John Textor declared to L'Équipe that the Algerian international would be “delighted to come to Lyon”. Note that the arrival of the former Brentford player (28 years old) would not necessarily conclude the OL transfer window, also well advanced in the file leading to Belgian defensive midfielder Orel Mangala.

Soon the end of the spleen for Karim Benzema? Sidelined by his club Al-Ittihad after missing the resumption of training (officially because he was stranded in the Indian Ocean by Cyclone Belal), the 36-year-old striker also reportedly requested his departure from the club who welcomed him last summer. In order to preserve the image of the Saudi Pro League and their country, Saudi leaders could, according to L'Équipe, transfer the 2022 Ballon d'Or to another club in the country, this time based in Riyadh (Al-Ittihad is based in Jeddah). A solution designed to avoid a return of “KB9” to Europe, while Manchester United and Chelsea have recently taken the temperature with the player.
