Without a club for a year and the end of his contract in Galatasaray, Serge Aurier is in the vagueness concerning the pursuit of his career. The Ivorian could have bounced back to OM on the initiative of the Marseille management. However, he reacted coldly to this unexpected offer.
If clubs are looking for a right back to the transfer window, they still have Serge Aurier. The former Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham and Villarreal player is free from any contract. It has been even a year since the Ivorian has lived this situation. On July 1, 2024, Galatasaray did not extend their common collaboration started 6 months before only. Despite his lack of rhythm and certain past escapades, Aurier could serve several Ligue 1 training courses. The idea is not crazy since Olympique de Marseille started first in the file.
Aurier at OM, it's impossible
Questioned by journalist Smaïl Bouabdellah in the podcast Fieldthe former Parisian has revealed contacts with OM in recent months. Medhi Benatia was initiated by this transfer. An interesting idea for a club without a club? No way. Aurier firmly refused the Marseille offer despite his complicated contractual situation. Originally from the Paris region, the 32 -year -old is too attached to PSG to join the Marseille enemy.
« When Benatia spoke to me, I never followed up, because I clearly told her that it didn't interest me. And I was without a club. But I am very loyal. (…) I prefer not to eat only to sign at OM. (…) It's in the head. I am a Parisian. I couldn't afford to sign at OM. You are the happiest when you win a classico, you say “go Paris”. I couldn't do the opposite in classicos. What would it have given? He said frankly. A setback for OM but a hope for other French clubs. Serge Aurier will not look at the financial component to finalize a transfer. It will favor the sporting side and especially the emotional side.
