Injured in a calf since December 16 and a relapse in Rennes (1-2) after a hasty return, Jordan Amavi (26) will resume collective training this week. The left side, under contract until June, should not, like Florian Thauvin, extend with OM. Between Pablo Longoria, the sporting director, who is starting to activate this position to compensate for a future departure, and the player’s representatives, the discussions have stalled.

Free to commit where he wants for next season, Amavi is courted by Napoli in Serie A but especially by Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Another more prestigious London club came to the information recently, but without making an offer: Arsenal. OM recorded Monday, as part of an exchange, the departure of young Marley Aké (20) for Juventus Turin, where he will sign a four and a half year contract in the coming hours. The attacker, also coveted by Le Havre (L2) or FC Bruges in Belgium, will initially be made available to the reserve team. The Italian Franco Tongya (18 years old), an axial or right attacking midfielder who has never played in the first team with Juve, has taken the opposite path and joined Marseille.

Longoria continues to prospect for a middle to compensate for Sanson’s departure. Among the many leads that are emerging, the Turkish press yesterday reported an interest in Irfan Can Kahveci (25 years old, Istanbul Basaksehir). Finally, the sporting director hopes to find by the end of the transfer window a way out for Christopher Rocchia (22 years old), Lucas Perrin (22 years old) or even Nemanja Radonjic (24 years old), scorer in Monaco on Saturday (1-3) .
