“Not a word or particular support for Mandanda” – Gautreau
During the RMC program “After Foot”, Florent Gautreau, returns to the departure of Mandanda and admits to being disappointed with the lack of support for the “legend of the club” that is Mandanda, the most capped player among others. The journalist recalls that Mandanda did not want to relive a season like the last and suspects that it is Longoria who would push him towards the exit.
“Mandanda didn’t want to leave, for lots of personal reasons, imagine when you live 15 years in Marseille, everything, the children, the family, after that these are considerations that are rarely mentioned and which are valid for everyone. world. But when we listen to Longoria’s conf on the arrival of Tudor, who mentions the cases of the guards, he could have said “well yes Steve put his head back in front…” no he said it again, we go back to the idea of a competition between two goalkeepers, so Mandanda said to himself: relive the same possible nightmare without any guarantee, this time I’m going, I’m diving. So knowing that in addition OM want to cut back on their big salaries, those who play and those who play less, Strootman, Mandanda who could also play less to possibly recruit someone with a bigger salary, for example Depay. When Longoria in conf I heard a little between the lines, between the words, no particular support or strong message on Mandanda to say we want him to stay, we told him, we discussed it. No, I think it’s a polite but a little harsh way when you’re a quote-unquote club legend to leave. » Florent Gautreau Source : RMC (06/07/2022)
🔵 Steve Mandanda’s departure to Rennes during the summer transfer window should be completed quickly. The Marseille club will not receive any transfer compensation because Pablo Longoria did not want to block the 37-year-old goalkeeper.https://t.co/gtA3YGq8JD
