The Togolese midfielder, Alaixys Romao, shared the behind-the-scenes details of his transfer to Marseille during the winter transfer window. He mentioned that the interest from Marseille came unexpectedly after the match against Tunisia in CAN 2013. Despite a failed transfer to Besiktas six months earlier, the move to Marseille was relatively easy, with quick agreements reached between the player, Marseille’s president Labrune, and sporting director Anigo. Romao had already received approval from his former club, Lorient.
