The departure of Mario Lemina to Marseille at the end of the summer transfer window led to criticism from Lorient coach Christian Gourcuff. However, Loïc Féry, the president of Lorient, defends the decision, stating that he does not regret letting the midfielder go. Féry emphasizes the need for a balanced approach in the club’s strategic decisions and mentions that Lemina had the option to stay but chose to join Marseille, where he could quintuple his salary and play in the Champions League. Despite the controversy, Lemina faces competition in Marseille and doesn’t start regularly.
