Sampaoli wants to play a dirty trick on Tudor in the transfer window

At the dawn of the start of the Ligue 1 championship, Jorge Sampaoli slammed the door. Not convinced by the Marseille project, the coach of Olympique de Marseille preferred to give up his apron, after a season in which he nevertheless obtained qualification for the Champions League thanks to a second place. Away from the field, he finally found a base on the side of his former club, Sevilla FC, looking for a firefighter on duty after a disastrous start to the season. And after a draw obtained against Athletic Bilbao, he is already preparing the future with ideas for the transfer window.

Heading to Spain for Gerson?

Indeed, according to information from the Andalusian media Sports Stadium, the former Olympique de Marseille would have blown the name of a Phocaean to his sports director Monchi. This is the Brazilian Gerson, recruited in 2021 by OM from Flamengo for 20 million euros. The club’s leaders have made a first approach to their French counterparts to find out more about the player’s availability. It will be necessary to spend at least the same sum to attach its services, or to study the option of a loan. Under the orders of Igor Tudor, Gerson no longer has quite the same role as with Sampaoli, and could seek to relaunch with a coach who appreciates him. It remains to be seen the situation of OM in the transfer window, a file which could in particular be governed by a European qualification for the second part of the 2022-2023 financial year.
