For several days, the future signature of CJ Egan-Riley has been announced on the side of OM. But that is without counting on the determination of the other contenders of English.
The summer transfer window has not yet officially opened its doors that Marseille has already validated a recruit, namely Angel Gomes. The Englishman of 24 will leave the LOSC at the end of the contract on June 30, to engage with the 2nd of Ligue 1 in three seasons. The future teammate of Mason Greenwood will be joined by another compatriot: CJ Egan-Riley.
As confirmed by Fabrice Hawkins (RMC), the axial of Burnley FC, free from any contract at the end of the month, successfully passed his medical examination this Saturday, and will therefore engage with the tricolor training via a “4 -year contract“. It is “sign”according to the journalist, who nevertheless reports that West Ham returned to the charge in recent hours.
West Ham a “Testyed”
Indeed, the Hammers made “A new offer“a priori very strong from a financial point of view, Premier League obliges, and perhaps even greater than the Marseille Olympique proposal. But the player held out, saying that he does not want “What Marseille”. The interested party was indeed “Seduced by the speech of Roberto de Zerbi and Mehdi Benatia”which therefore allowed OM not to be overtaken in the last straight line.
A priori a very good news for the Marseille club: CJ Egan-Riley is indeed worth 16 M€ According to the site Transfer marketwhich currently makes the defender the 6th player at the end of the most expensive contract on the market. And for English, as for Angel Gomes, Marseille will have spent 0 € In transfer, while reinforcing itself to a disaster position, the central defense.
