This winter theOlympic Marseille is determined to sell in order to replenish its coffers and reduce its payroll. With this in mind, after having lent Jordan Amavi at theOGC Nice, the Marseille club seeks to separate fromAlvaro Gonzalez placeholder image coveted by many clubs includingAXIS, Strasbourg, Bordeaux or Valence. Very comfortable atIF, the Spanish defender is however open to a departure. And for good reason, according to the journalist of RMC, Florent Germain, who spoke at the microphone of BFM, Alvaro Gonzalez placeholder image would have had a clash with Jorge Sampaoli.

Sampaoli responsible for the departure of Alvaro?

« I think Sampaoli has his idea on Alvaro and indeed it will be complicated. In addition, they have a little fresh relationships. They had almost had an altercation before the match against Paris in October. Like Amavi, Alvaro had extended at the end of last season, he thought he had a role to play with Sampaoli but he realized that he was in the closet and that he played very little. So it had heated between the two men. Alvaro did not want to leave, he did not want to leave Marseille. When there were approaches from French clubs, he said to himself that he deserved a team of better standing. But here there is Valencia which begins to enter the dance in Spain. He knows that area well, he played at Villarreal. And he begins to have discussions. Not between Valencia and OM, but between Valencia and the player’s representatives. To see if he will go to Spain to revive », He assures.
