OM: Alvaro hasn't left yet, but...
With 11 matches played this season, the last of which on February 17 against Qarabag in the Europa League Conference, Alvaro Gonzalez only collects the crumbs at Olympique de Marseille.
The 32-year-old central defender, in conflict with his coach and his management, had refused to leave this winter for Bordeaux, convinced that he would eventually regain his gallons at OM.
But as the newspaper
L'Équipe
reveals , the Spaniard has taken a step back.
He returned to his native country “
about ten days ago
” with the agreement of the club.
For his entourage, his departure this summer is already recorded, one year from the end of his contract, with the idea of a juicy offer in the Middle East.
But OM would not have reached this point of no return, especially after the operation on the left shoulder of Leonardo Balerdi, injured for the rest of the season.
Alvaro Gonzalez, Marseille vice-captain for a time, could reappear in the Olympian jersey.
Which would not bode well for a bright future, far from it.
