Ben Yedder successor to Sanchez, blow for OM !
Wissam Ben Yedder is OM’s preferred lead in the event of Alexis Sanchez’s departure during this summer transfer window. But the ASM striker is also on the shelves of Stade Rennais…
Unexpected competition for Olympique de Marseille in the Wissam Ben Yedder case. While the French international from Monaco is one of the leads dug by Pablo Longoria in the event of the departure of Alexis Sanchez, the former Sevilla FC striker has other courtiers… including in Ligue 1. To everyone’s surprise , a French club is about to overshadow OM in the “WBY” file since Karim Bennani reveals on his Twitter account that Stade Rennais is on the lookout to recover the Monegasque captain.
“The Breton club inquired about the situation of Wissam Ben Yedder. The sports management of Rennes is very interested in the French international. reveals in a very unexpected way the journalist of Prime Video. After completing the arrival of Ludovic Blas and while negotiations with Lorient are very advanced for the transfer of Enzo Le Fée, Stade Rennais does not intend to stop there and now wishes to offer the services of a seasoned striker such as Wissam Ben Yedder, at the end of his contract with ASM in a year and therefore accessible at a bargain price even if his salary is generous (more than 600,000 euros monthly).
This interest from Rennes, which has very large financial means on the transfer market, is bad news for Pablo Longoria. And for good reason, the Marseille president has identified for a few days Wissam Ben Yedder as a serious option for Marcelino’s 4-4-2, especially in the event of the departure of Alexis Sanchez. At the end of the contract on June 30, the Chilean is no longer an OM player. But negotiations are continuing between the two parties to try to find an agreement around an extension of one or two years. According to information delivered Wednesday by RMC, Marseille has submitted an attractive salary offer to Alexis Sanchez with a 25% increase compared to his emoluments for the 2022-2023 season. Enough to convince El Nino Maravilla to prolong the pleasure in Provence?
