Thauvin extended to OM?

"Very difficult" for Longoria

In a river interview granted to

Provence

, the sports director of Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria, addressed the issue of the transfer window that awaits the club.

He was notably questioned about the Florian Thauvin case, at the end of the contract next June.

“The time of extra time is always a situation where you have to find a balance between all the players,” he said.

It's the same for other players who are in this situation.

We started talking to them and their agents.

We have to be prepared for different scenarios.

Extending contracts in this uncertain situation is very difficult for clubs.

All players are waiting to see the reality of the market.

These questions no longer make us analyze a contract extension as we did in 2018. "

Beginning of November,

The Team

informed that Thauvin (27 years old) required a long contract to agree to renew his lease at OM.

The world champion winger said he was "touched" by the interest of AC Milan and its sports director, Paolo Maldini.
