There are just under two weeks left before the transfer market closes, and Matteo Guendouzi’s future is still uncertain. Close to leaving OM last winter, an amount of €40m was even mentioned in the event of departure. Now, the Marseille leaders would only ask €20m for the 24-year-old midfielder, and Lazio would even try to lower this price.
Unhappy last Tuesday during the elimination against Panathinaïkos in the third preliminary round of the Champions League, Matthew Guendouzi did not have the opportunity to revive Friday evening on the lawn of Metz. As has been the case since the start of the season, the French international (7 caps) was a substitute at kick-off. It wasn’t even used by Marcelino and it was from the bench that he witnessed the draw of theABOUT (2-2).

Although he is under contract until June 2025, the former player ofArsenalarrived two years ago at theABOUT, is regularly announced on departure. Which was already the case during the last winter transfer window. Several Premier League clubs were announced on the trail of Matthew Guendouzi, and an amount of €40m had even been mentioned in the event of departure. In the end, the 24-year-old midfielder remained at theABOUTbut he could be gone by the time the transfer market closes.
Lazio try to lower the price
Matthew Guendouzi represents a good market value for the Marseille leaders, who would see with one eye a transfer this summer, especially since the workforce of theABOUT is quite provided in midfield. In recent days, the Italian press has been reporting interest from the Lazio in this file. A trend confirmed by the Gazzetta dello Sport, which indicates that discussions are continuing between the Biancocelesti and theABOUT. The Olympians would ask 20M€ to agree to part with Matthew Guendouzia price that the Lazio would try to lower. We are a long way from the €40m hoped for six months ago.
