Live Mercato: Guingamp-Nantes Accord for Blas

Mercato: Luiz Gustavo flew to Turkey

Luiz Gustavo flew this Sunday afternoon in a private jet to Turkey to engage with Fenerbahce. He had lunch with his teammates this afternoon at the Commandery. At that time, his team-mates and the staff still thought he could be on the scoresheet this Sunday night for the match against Saint-Etienne, even if the doubt remained. Everything accelerated in the early afternoon when the positions of OM and Fenerbahce were closer. The Turkish club asked that the player does not play this Sunday night and moves to be able to complete the formalities quickly, including the medical visit.

The Brazilian therefore greeted some of the closest teammates, without saying goodbye because the transfer was not yet complete. Verification at Velodrome Stadium: Gustavo was not on the bus when he arrived at the stadium at around 19:15. The Marseille leaders say that there are still some details to settle even if the agreement would be around 7 million euros, according to La Provence.

According to our information, the presidents of Nantes and Marseille, Waldemar Kita and Jacques-Henri Eyraud, have for their part long traded today to negotiate and unlock the transfer of Valentin Rongier. OM would ideally announce the transfer of midfield Nantes as soon as the announcement of the transfer of Gustavo. Some Olympian leaders were therefore a little surprised to see Gustavo's photo with the leaders of Fenerbahce upon his arrival in Istanbul.
