Pape Gueye would have made a decision regarding his future. The player would have responded clearly to OM’s extension offers.
Suspended 4 months at the start of the season, Pape Gueye has played very little in recent months. The player nevertheless flew to the CAN, where he will defend the colors of Senegal. In recent weeks, OM have reportedly sent him two contract extension proposals. The player is in fact only contracted until June.
According to information communicated by RMC Sport, Pape Gueye did not follow up on the Olympian proposals. The midfielder might leave this winter, if “a proposal is considered sufficient for all parties”. Or next summer, at the end of his contract.
Pape Gueye joined OM in the summer of 2020, following first joining Watford (which earned him the suspension). The player has since participated in 103 matches in the OM jersey, for 4 goals and 3 assists. Last season, Igor Tudor did not count on him, and the Montreuil native was loaned to Sevilla FC in the second half of the season. He performed well there.
OM formalized the arrival of Jean Onana a few days ago from Besiktas. The Cameroonian international has been loaned until the end of the season, with the Olympian club having a purchase option to secure his permanent services next June.
“His situation is not usual in the world of football”
The native of Yaoundé occupies the same position as Pape Gueye and we can assume that his arrival is intended to compensate for his departure.
In mid-December, Pablo Longoria spoke regarding the situation of Pape Gueye. The Spaniard had highlighted the particularity of the Senegalese’s situation, in relation to his suspension: “It’s true that I don’t like players at the end of their contract. But his situation is not usual in the world of football. Since his arrival at OM, everyone has been waiting for the sanction that would come. It’s hard on a psychological level for him, it weighed on him. Although I would like to say that he was always very involved in training. We made an extension offer to Pape Gueye, we will make him a second offer this week. But it’s true that the situation is special, so it’s complicated. But the club’s intention is to continue negotiations with him to continue the adventure with him.”he clarified.
But Pape Gueye ultimately did not follow up. And OM should not be able to monetize his transfer, if indeed he leaves the club this winter.
