OM took a real wall in its negotiations for a player promised to the Roberto de Zerbi workforce.
A few days ago, the Dutch press announced
An agreement in principle Between OM and Feyenoord for the transfer of peaceao, for an envelope of 30 million euros plus 5 million potential bonuses. This Wednesday, however, is the cold shower, the two clubs never having granted on the amount of the transaction.
The Brazilian winger, who seemed to have reached a contractual agreement with Marseille, had blown the cold the day before by relaying a video of supporters enjoining him to remain faithful to Rotterdam. And the day after a diplomatic visit by Medhi Benatia to the Netherlands which was said to be fruitful. On the contrary, for lack of major progress at the start of the week, OM would have decided to throw in the towel.
This is the information relayed today by TeamTalk: the abandonment of the Peaceao track by the Marseille staff after a final proposal at 28 million euros-excluding bonus. Too far from the aspirations of the Feyenoord, which expects an imminent awakening of the English market to break off its Auriverde feu-follet at 18 goals and 19 assists in 47 matches the season passes.
Fofana untouchable for OM?
This is a real blow and a serious stop in the Olympian market. Last week again, the father and advisor to Igor Peaceao had lunch with the sports director of OM in Marseille and this cordial agreement suggested the best. Yes but here, Pablo Longoria learned from his past errors and no longer intends to pour into the overbidding about the targeted players. Especially not six weeks before the end of the transfer window.
It remains to know the B plans (s) of the Marseille direction. Not long ago, the name of Lyonnais Malick Fofana was cited but the price today announced – between 50 and 60 million euros – and the identity of the potential candidates already on the ranks – Liverpool and Bayern – seem to immediately dismiss OM. Another profile for a time retained, that of Noa Lang, the troublemaker of the PSV Eindhoven who has just committed in favor of Naples. The Marseillais may well have to start from scratch in this delicate file of the left winger.
