An old habit that Longoria adopted…
Indeed, without even mentioning the players who only spent one full seasonOm (the list would be very long), it is possible to find other players, who Renan Lodi, stayed only 6 months in Marseille. This is the case for exampleOlivier Ntcham. The loan was given by Celtic Glasgow At the very end of the winter transfer window in January 2021, the French midfielder will stand above all as a player whose arrivalAndre Villas-Boas, resented not being consulted on the matter. in the field, Ntcham Will play only six matches before leaving. Recently, during the summer of 2022, theOm Don’t hesitate to drop €10M to recruit Luis Suarez, a striker who plays in the Spanish second division. The Colombian will never win at Marseille and will be loaned out in the following winter transfer window Almeria before his eventual transfer at the end of the season. Further, during the month of January 2023, during which oneOm Giving Luis Suarez, Ruslan Malinovsky Arrives in Marseille. On paper, this is a great move, the Ukrainian is a sure bet Seri A where he established himself togetherAtlanta. But atOm, will not take the clause. The Marseille club exercised his purchase option before loaning him out Genoa Where he stayed on permanently after a six-month stint at Kennabear for a total of 23 appearances. Another case that is interesting, that Cedric Bakambu. Arriving free in January 2022 after experience in China, the ex-Sochalian returned League 1 And feel relaxed tooOm Where he would score important goals that would contribute to the Marseille club’s qualification for the Champions League. But whenIgor Tudor instead of Jorge Sampaoli, Cedric Bakambu will not be retained and Pablo Longoria Will force him to leave at the start of next season. Six months after his arrival, the Congolese international would therefore be forced to find a new club and bounce backOlympiakos. Finally, a recent case, first Renan Lodiworried Isaac Toure. Recruited during the summer of 2022 for around €7M, the Le Havre defender is considered a great hope for French football in his position. On paper, theOm So achieves a nice shot, except the colossus seems a little tender for the central defenderOm. After six months, he was given the loanAJ AuxerreBefore returning to Marseille at the end of last season to serve as a bargaining chip in a deal with… Lorient for Bamo Meite.
