Valentin Rongier, midfielder of the Olympique de Marseille, is increasingly moving away from the club as his contract closes. According to the information relayed by The Team, negotiations to extend the contract between the player and the Marseille management did not succeed. A proposal for renewal had been submitted in February, but it was refused by Rongier, who does not seem to be considering staying in the long term. After being captain under Igor Tudor in the 2022-2023 season, he resumed training with the band under the direction of De Zerbi, but his future at the club is now uncertain.

The Olympique de Marseille does not intend to make a new extension offer and seems to be preparing its departure. The Phocéan club would have explored the possibility of an exchange with Timothy Weah, currently at the Juventus, but this track was rejected by the Turin management, which is not entirely convinced by the player’s profile. However, Igor Tudor, the current Juventus coach, would greatly appreciate the return of his former captain to Turin and campaigned internally for his recruitment.

Despite Tudor’s support, the arrival of Rongier at the Juventus is not a priority for the management of the Italian club. In addition, Tudor rejected the option Franck Kessié, proposed by Al-Ahli, although recruitment choices must be validated by the entire recruitment cell. OM, which does not plan to bring Bennacer back, will have to look at the midfield post if Rongier finds a project more attractive elsewhere. His future therefore remains uncertain and will depend on the evolution of discussions with other clubs.
