As his contract with OM expires at the end of the season, Boubacar Kamara still seems far from an extension. And its president Pablo Longoria, annoyed by the turn of the file, did not hesitate to send him a very firm message on this subject.
As with Florian Thauvin the last year, which ended up signing up with the Tigres de Monterrey at the end of its contract, the OM could lose an important element without recovering transfer fees to summer 2022. Indeed, Boubacar Kamara will come to the end of his engagement with his training club next June, and to believe the latest revelations, the 22-year-old defensive midfielder (or central defender) clearly does not seem willing to continue the adventure at OM . His departure without recovering transfer compensation would represent a big financial loss for OM , which prompts Pablo Longoria to speak on the case Kamara .

It’s an important asset for the club, I hope it will continue. But there is not only one party in negotiations, it must be the general will. Football is changing.

To say that you have offered a maximum in negotiation is not respectful with the other party. There is a match, the ball is in the middle of the field, everyone must play their part ”. The message is therefore clear…
Kamara kicked in
For his part, when it came to discussing his very uncertain future at OM in recent days, Boubacar Kamara had shown himself to be much more enigmatic than its leader: “My representatives manage all this, but it is confidential. It’s not for me to speak out on this, it’s my reps handling it. I only focus on the pitch, “said the OM player. “What I want is to keep working and improving. Win titles and work in good conditions. When I make up my mind I'll be the first to say it. Have I made a decision? I am still thinking ”. This matter, which is the subject of great tension, therefore seems far from being settled …
