While this is agitated around the Olympique de Marseille, the president of OM works on the transfer window. And he is ready to extend three players who are too expensive for his club.
Even if the subject does not really seem to fascinate the supporters of Olympique de Marseille, hotter than ever concerning the possible sale of their favorite club, Jacques-Henri Eyraud is working on the next season. And discreetly. Saturday, the president of OM surprised everyone by announcing the extension of Dimitri Payet until 2024, the latter agreeing to drastically lower his salary, which will be smoothed over the next four years, while obtaining a retraining project in Marseille. A courageous and clever choice for Dimitri Payet, who knows that we must now think about his post-career. With this surgical treatment of the Payet case, Jacques-Henri Eyraud now wants to tackle the other three XXL salaries of Olympique de Marseille, Steve Mandanda, Florian Thauvin and of course Kevin Strootman.
For this trio, the president of OM wants to find a solution similar to the one signed with Dimitri Payet. Jacques-Henri Eyraud’s idea is to offer an extension to Mandanda, Payet and Strootman in exchange for a big salary effort, this Monday says L’Equipe. If things seem possible for the emblematic goalkeeper of Marseille, who at 35 must think about his future after football, it will necessarily be more complicated for Florian Thauvin and Kevin Strootman. Concerning the French OM world champion, it is the age that will be the problem. At 27, Thauvin has yet to think about his retraining, especially as he begins his last year of contract with Olympique de Marseille. It will therefore be more difficult to agree to smooth your salary over a long period. For the Dutch community, even if nothing seems simple concerning his salary, 500,000 euros per month, and three years from the end of his contract, Jacques-Henri Eyraud wants to try his luck.
