Transfers: Amine Harit (Schalke) to OM, it’s still not official

The loan of Amine Harit has still not been formalized by OM this Wednesday evening, even if the attacking midfielder has passed the medical examination and has been training with his new teammates since the beginning of the week. But his dry loan for a season and his contract have still not been approved by the League. The Marseille club is very confident about the outcome of the case but is waiting for the National Management Control Department to communicate on this subject, late in the evening or Thursday.

Players have accepted a deferral of part of their salary in 2022

There still remained this Wednesday legal documents to be completed, in particular a few amendments to contracts. Why ? Schalke 04 did not finally accept the financial package proposed by the Olympians leaders. And Pablo Longoria, the Marseille president, had to pick up his phone and turn to a daring solution late Tuesday night. The OM payroll being supervised by the DNCG, the operation could only be done because Marseille players accepted a postponement of part of their salary in 2022 and not a reduction, except immediately of course. . It was the only solution to get into the nails.

As revealed by our colleagues from RMC, Alvaro Gonzalez and Pol Lirola are among those who have said yes to this unusual deal. Leonardo Balerdi is also in the lot. Other players were ready to do it. Unless the situation turns around, the temporary effort of these three elements should allow OM to register the signature of the Moroccan. In addition, the Olympians leaders remained quite upbeat Wednesday against Boubacar Kamara and especially Duje Caleta-Car. The Croatian refused in the last days of the transfer window an offer of € 18m from Wolverhampton and another of € 15m plus a bonus from Valencia CF in Spain.
