The Stade Vélodrome, currently "Stade Orange Vélodrome" for sponsorship reasons, is a multi-purpose stadium in Marseille, France. Used primarily for soccer and has been home to Ligue 1 side Olympique de Marseille since it opened in 1937, having a capacity of 67,394 fans.
Gerson the Brazilian is in the orbit of important teams, such as Sevilla FC, which prepares a huge restructuring to face the winter market and Pape Gueye, the 23-year-old player is not having prominence in Olympique de Marseille, with little more than 300 minutes on the field, so Sampaoli will also keep an eye on him.
Dimitri Payet, the famous 35-year-old midfielder ends his contract with Olympique de Marseille in 2024, so the French want to give him an exit in order to make a profit before the end of the season. In addition, the French player earns a high salary, with his departure they could afford the addition of a new signing.
Olympique de Marseille was the team eliminated after a crazy day in Group D of the UEFA Champions League. As the player Chancel Mbemba acknowledged, the team was unaware of this fact during the course of the match. The center-back regretted that no one informed the players that the result was good for them.
"On the field we didn't know, but in the dugout people knew. There was no communication. We are angry because it happened at the end, but we didn't know. It's our mistake," he told RMC Sport.
Pablo Longoria, president of Marseille, has made it clear in his latest statements that the departure of Jorge Sampaoli, just days before the start of the season, did not sit well with him.
"Regarding Tudor, we were not counting on Sampaoli's departure. The idea was to mutate towards a more physical soccer next season. We have anticipated a year. Ribalta's arrival was fundamental. Javier was someone who really believed in this idea of soccer that we wanted to evolve," he told AS.
The Ballon d'Or party at the Theâtre du Châtelet had another 'beneficiary': Jean-Michel Aulas, president of Olympique Lyon, known for his good negotiating skills, according to L'Équipe, included a bonus of one million euros in 2009, the year in which he transferred the striker to Real Madrid for 35 million euros, in case he won the Ballon d'Or.
Although it remains to be determined whether this clause is still in force, since he initially signed until 2015 and then signed another contract, France confirms that Lyon did pay the million euros.
