All the media are unanimous in the Rongier file: it gets stuck! The discussions between representatives of the 30 -year -old midfielder and OM are at a standstill. After a first offer this winter, Valentin Rongier would have once again declined the Marseille proposal. The midfielder estimates deserve more than the 330,000 euros in his current monthly salary. But how much does he want to accept to prolong? In the locker room, the tenors are called Adrien Rabiot, Pierre-Émile Hojbjerg with 500,000 euros. Just behind, we find Geoffrey Kondogbia and Ismaël Bennacer, with € 450 k. The wish of Valentin Rongier and his entourage is to approach as close as possible to the head trio. Last season, the midfielder proved its importance in the Zerbi Roberto system. When Rongier is on the ground, OM wins very often … This influence, on the game and the team, the French estimates it beyond 330,000 euros per current month. For the time being, OM offers him to extend his two-season lease and would be below 400,000 euros monthly. Either the Marseille board agrees to add one year more to go on a three -year lease. Either the club decides to review its salary proposal, with a fixed to 450,000 euros per month. To date, OM refuses the second option and claims an effort from its player, by highlighting the club's support in the long period of doubt by Rongier during its knee injury (late 2023-summer 2024).
