Although he extended his contract last spring, Jordan Amavi is definitely not part of Jorge Sampaoli's plans at OM. His situation would also worry internally. Explanations.

While like Florian Thauvin his contract ended last June, the OM is unlike the tricolor world champion who managed to reach an agreement with Jordan Amavi so that his commitment to the Olympique de Marseille be extended until the summer of 2024. However, due to physical problems, the left side of the Marseille club has experienced a truncated second part of the season and therefore, since the appointment of Jorge Sampaoli at the head of the Marseille workforce, could not really show itself in the eyes of the Argentine technician. And at the start of the season, only appearances against Angers (0-0) in September and OGC Nice end of October (1-1) should be noted for Amavi. Little, very little for the status he has in terms of the wage bill of the OM. And this is not the message of Jorge Sampaoli at a press conference on Friday which suggests that this situation is quickly set to change.

“At the start of the season he suffered from our system, with three central units and a piston, when we tried it it didn't go very well. Jordan or others have the right to seek a way out. The important thing is that the player progresses, if we do not succeed maybe another team can help him. We will see what will happen with him or others during the transfer window ”. Clear testimony that suggests that Jordan Amavi can look elsewhere if he wished. This Saturday, in its columns of the day, La Provence goes even further by explaining that due to the fact that it is put in the closet at the OM , Amavi could well be forced to leave in order to regain playing time. Besides, behind the scenes, one would even wonder how the player will be able to “raise his head”. Due to his position at OM , his market value took a hit and that would likely be a real drag on his departure. It remains to be seen what will be the outcome of this soap opera…
