Olympique de Marseille is not unemployed during its transfer window. While the Marseille club activates in all directions (Aguerd, Abline, Medina) and that it finalized the arrival of the former English midfielder from LOSC, Angel Gomes, another Briton will land on the Canebière. This is the English hope CJ Egan-Riley, which has evolved in Burnley. Facked by numerous English training courses as well as by Strasbourg, the 22-year-old central defender is finally the lucky one to strengthen the Marseille rear guard.
Burnley had also announced the departure in France of his ex-player, without quoting OM. “The Burnley Football Club can confirm that it has been informed by CJ Egan-Riley representatives that the English international defender under 21 has now formally rejected the club's offer in an important long-term contract with the club. Despite the club's commitment to ensure the long -term CJ future and the substantial investment offered, CJ has made the decision to seize an opportunity in France ”.
A new Englishman at OM
After quickly agreeing with the player, Olympique de Marseille was quick to formalize his arrival on the Canebière. “CJ Egan-Riley is Olympian. The central defender joins the free OM of any contract after his visit to Burnley FC. He will arrive in Marseille following the Euro U21 which he currently competes with the Young Lions ”can we read on the press release published by the vice-champions of France.
After Mason Greenwood, Angel Gomes and Jonathan Rowe, CJ Egan-Riley is therefore growing the English contingent of OM. For its part, the club chaired by Pablo Longoria has a good deal. While waiting to see if OM will recruit another central defender, Longoria can congratulate himself on having attracted free hope of any contract, because Egan-Riley was listed at € 16 million. A great economy!
