OM have already completed a sale

Pablo Longoria is a fine negotiator. Whether in terms of arrivals or departures, the president of Olympique de Marseille is often one step ahead. Last summer, the Spaniard made a huge degreasing. Steve Mandanda, Duje Caleta-Car, Cédric Bakambu or Nemanja Radonijc, to name a few, have been transferred or loaned. Regarding the last named, he joined Torino in the form of a loan with an option to buy.

Torino are fed up with Radonjic

The idea was for the Serb to revive, he who has never really managed to win at OM. Loaned to Hertha Berlin then to Benfica, he had a new chance in Turin. And quickly, he knew how to seize it. Scorer in his first game in his new colors in the Italian Cup, he did it again by scoring on the 3rd day of Serie A. We thought then that the 27-year-old was well launched. The transalpine press had quickly fallen under his spell.

But a few months later, the situation changed. Radonjic no longer evolves at the same level and is disappointing. His trainer Ivan Duric recently tackled him. “I am not satisfied with him. He must give more. He struggles to become a real player. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it disappears. This is the great limit of the boy. We will still wait, but he has to show that he wants to do something in football. I expect more from him.”

The Serb leaves OM definitively

Mute since November 9, 11 games in all competitions, the native of Beograd is no longer unanimous. A situation that could concern OM. But the Phocaeans obviously have no more worries to worry about. Indeed, the purchase option they had included at the time of his loan became mandatory according to Tuttosport. The transalpine publication explains that the conditions making this option mandatory have been met.

Thus, 2 million euros will go into the coffers of residents of the Orange Vélodrome. A sum that will be welcome. For his part, Radonjic has signed a contract until June 2026. But it is not at all certain that he will still be at Torino on that date. Indeed, the Piedmontese club is not satisfied with him and is very seriously considering selling him this summer 2023. But that is no longer the problem of OM, who have finally managed to get rid of a flop .
