Riechedly Bazoer and Justin Kluivert no longer have to count on a switch to Olympique Marseille. Jorge Sampaoli, until recently trainer of l’OM, the duo wanted to add to his selection, but the exit of the Argentinian has caused the club board to erase all its tracks. President Pablo Longoria announced during the presentation of successor Igor Tudor that he would fully comply with the wishes of the new trainer.
In mid-June, transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano came with the surprising news that Bazoer’s entourage was in talks with Olympique Marseille. The midfielder annex central defender recently ran out of his contract with Vitesse and can therefore still be picked up by interested clubs. Various Italian media also added Kluivert’s name to Marseille’s transfer deals. José Mourinho would have no place at AS Roma for the 23-year-old attacker; Sampaoli did see good in a collaboration.
However, the 62-year-old coach lacked ambition at his club and suddenly decided to resign on the first of July. Tudor is reportedly on a considerably different wavelength than its predecessor, which means that a pertinent line can be made through the names of Bazoer and Kluivert. However, the duo has nothing to complain about interest. BILD already wrote about an imminent agreement between Bazoer and Borussia Mönchengladbach; The Telegraph added numerous interested clubs from Greece and Turkey, including Olympiacos and Kasimpasa. Kluivert, in turn, would be considered by West Ham United, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport†
The duo is thus deprived of a chance to enter the Champions League. Sampaoli led Marseille to second place on the final day of the competition last season, securing direct qualification for the billion-dollar ball. The club had to recognize its superiority in the semi-finals of the Conference League in Feyenoord, which won 3-2 over two matches.
