While the exercise of his purchase option seemed acquired, central defender Alvaro Gonzalez, loaned by Villarreal Olympique de Marseille, explained that the current situation poses some concerns from a contractual point of view.
Alvaro Gonzalez wants to continue with OM.
—
I believe that by playing five or ten games, the option to buy becomes mandatory. So I will be Marseille for three more years, that’s for sure! As early as last November, central defender Alvaro Gonzalez (30), loaned by Villarreal, announced his intention to continue for several years with Olympique de Marseille.
Taulier of the central hinge of OM, whether at the side of Duje Caleta-Car or Boubacar Kamara, the Spaniard has established himself as one of the basic men of Andr Villas-Boas, who has fielded 24 times this season, all competitions combined.
A gray area on the purchase option
The case therefore seemed to be sewn with white thread and the phocen club only had to pay 4 million euros to activate the purchase option. Except that the coronavirus crisis and the possibility that the season could not come to an end have passed by there and complicate matters a bit. We had an agreement with Villarreal for me to sign at the end of the season. I had a little clause stipulating that I had to play 5 games this season to sign 3 more years with OM. But the unknown is that since the season is not over, we hope that the championship ends so that my purchase option is raised , said the former Espanyol Barcelona in an interview for Tlfoot.
OM and Villarreal keep in touch
Despite this setback, Gonzalez remains optimistic, especially since the two clubs are in contact on this subject. The two clubs are in discussions on what to do if the season ends there, because we do not know how the contracts will be managed. There are many different cases, admitted the Ibre, categorical concerning his intentions for the future: I want to stay here because I feel good and because OM have counted on me to be here for 4 years. With the common will of all parties in this case, a favorable outcome remains largely conceivable. To the delight of Marseille fans who normally appreciate the grinta of the defender.
Alvaro Gonzalez definitively OM, is it inevitable? Do not hesitate to react and debate in the area add a comment …
