An important executive and one of the best players at Olympique de Marseille, Matto Guendouzi could leave the Marseille club this winter. He is the subject of a diligent courtship from Aston Villa, who could offer up to 40 million euros.
After Kamara, Aston Villa is thinking Guendouzi.
Since the advent of Pablo Longoria, everything has been going very quickly with Olympique de Marseille. The one who moved from the post of sports director president has actually accustomed us to upsetting his workforce each summer transfer window, but he could take a few months in advance for the Matto Guendouzi file (23 years old).
An important executive and one of the best players in the team coached by Igor Tudor, the midfielder is the subject of assiduous courtship from Aston Villa, who intend to take action this winter.
Guendouzi already negotiates with Aston Villa
According to RMC Sport, the English club are close to making an offer of up to 30 million euros, and they would be ready to go up to 40 million euros to buy out the remaining two and a half years of contract. Important envelopes, which will obviously make Pablo Longoria think when they end up on his desk. Indeed, Aston Villa has not yet contacted OM, but has already made a contractual offer to Guendouzi according to our colleagues.
Negotiations are continuing between the Villans and the midfielder, but there is no agreement as of now. The current 11th in the Premier League, very ambitious for the future, however has assets to convince the French international. In particular one, of weight, which responds to the name of Unai Emery. When he arrived at Arsenal in 2018, the Spanish coach made Guendouzi a starter, two years after discovering him in the Lorient jersey with PSG.
The Emery Asset
The two men know each other well, and like each other. To convince Guendouzi, such is the mission which would have been entrusted to the former Parisian coach. Let’s recap, therefore: Aston Villa therefore has sporting and financial arguments to make, and the player – although very attached to OM – could be interested. Especially since on the side of the Marseille management, no door is ever really closed. Especially at this price, despite the importance of the N6 in the workforce.
Since the start of the season, Guendouzi has unquestionably been one of OM’s best players. All this without changing his real position, he who now plays a notch higher (too?) high in the field. With the arrival of Ruslan Malinovskyi and the return to form of Cengiz nder, not to mention Dimitri Payet, there seems to be one attacking midfielder too many without a European Cup to play. And the same fight in the midfield. In any case, President Longoria will have to make a difficult decision.
this price, should OM sell Guendouzi? Do not hesitate to react and discuss in the area add a comment…
