Paul Longoria gave a long review of the transfer window today at a press conference. And expressed himself on the last file in progress, in spite of the official closure of the French market last night at 11 p.m.
There was an agreement with Nice yesterday, but the Senegalese failed the medical examination in the evening. “These are different medical views, that’s the only thing we can say. Nice considers something, our doctor tooreplied the president. He was not injured except in the tendon the last week last season. Our doctor considers him fit for the highest level, that of Senegal considered him fit, they won the CAN and he was not injured. I don’t know what happened.“
He then replied curtly to Jean-Pierre Rivère, who would seek to lower the transfer fee. “There was an agreement, and there are no negotiations.“
The case is not yet closed. The Côte d’Azur club and the other teams have the possibility of bringing him in as a joker until December 31. And following, “there are open markets“, adds the president who has obviously not lost hope of giving it up. It must be said that when taking stock of the transfer window, Longoria confided that “transfer fee” of the player would have given the club even more air: “We are in a comfortable situation but we would be more comfortable if we had sold Bamba Dieng.”
And in the absence of a start, the choice of his sporting future will return to Igor Tudor, as it has been since the beginning of August. “The reality is that he is a player under contract with OM in September. He will be in the squad. It will now be a sporting decision of the coach, to make him play or not. ” The person concerned had avoided the question a little earlier this followingnoon.
