While OM decided to extend Jordan Amavi's contract last May, Jorge Sampaoli had validated this file with Pablo Longoria while he quickly put the left side aside afterwards…
“Jordan or others have the right to look for 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, ”said Jorge Sampaoli last week at a press conference, thus granting an exit voucher to Jordan Amavi this winter since he is no longer counting on him at OM . However, the former Niçois had been extended last May until June 2025 by the Marseille club, and Sampaoli had moreover had his say for Amavi .
Sampaoli had said yes for the extension of Amavi
Indeed, as revealed by L'Equipe on Monday in its columns, Pablo Longoria had targeted other positions than that of left side to be reinforced as a priority this summer for OM , and he had therefore suggested this extension of Jordan Amavi . A logical position on the part of the Marseille president, but what is more surprising, that it is Jorge Sampaoli had given his approval for this extension to finally completely leave aside the French left side, who has only played 2 games since the start of the season at OM .
