With the approach of the winter transfer window, questions arise about the future of Steve Mandanda. Today, the legend of OM is in the shadow of Pau Lopez. A situation which could therefore push him to leave in January. What to react on the Canebière.

During the last summer transfer window, the cards were completely redistributed for Steve Mandanda. Undisputed number 1 in the goals of theIF, the world champion saw Pau lopez get off theAS Rome. What therefore impact on the hierarchy of guardians. And if Jorge Sampaoli refused to clearly establish an order between the French and the Spaniard, this happened naturally. Today it’s Pau lopez who is the incumbent while Mandanda he sits on the sidelines, contenting himself with a few games. However, this situation does not necessarily seem to satisfy the Marseille porter. At 36, he still wants to play. Questions therefore arise on the continuation of the adventure atIF from Steve Mandanda, he who is however still under contract until 2024. And this Monday evening, RMC has also revealed future progress on this subject since the Marseillais would simply ask to meet with Jorge Sampaoli to be fixed on his situation. An interview with his agent which could then be decisive for Mandanda. Depending on the response he receives, a departure could well be considered and there is no lack of options to bounce back. While there has recently been talk of an interest from theAXIS, who is looking for a doorman to make up for the lack ofEtienne Green, other French teams would be there to reach out to the current player of Sampaoli.

” He did not say anything to me “

Will leave, will not leave? So this should be the soap opera Steve Mandanda during the coming weeks on the occasion of the winter transfer window which will open its doors on January 1st. And this Tuesday, we were able to get the first answers from theIF. Indeed, before the meeting facing the Stade de Reims, Jorge Sampaoli attended a press conference. The opportunity was therefore perfect to ask for clarifications concerning the situation and the future of Mandanda on the Canebière. At this, the coach of theIF responded : ” Personally, he didn’t tell me anything, he didn’t express any concerns to me about it. So it’s up to him to answer that ».

Jorge Sampaoli would therefore not be aware of anything concerning the future of Steve Mandanda. The vagueness remains on this subject, although within the locker room of theIF, we still count on the legend of the club. This is the message sent by Matteo Guendouzi, also passing in front of journalists on Tuesday. ” He is a very important player for us, for the whole group and the club. He’s a club legend. He helps us on the pitch and in the locker room. Every keeper when he played helped the team “, Thus released the French international of theIF.
