Pape Gueye, who recently transferred to Villarreal, has openly criticized the management of Olympique de Marseille, particularly targeting club president Pablo Longoria. In a surprising and candid Instagram story posted on Friday, July 26, the Senegalese international expressed his frustration with the club’s leadership and their handling of the summer transfer window.
Gueye’s departure from Marseille has been a topic of interest, and his recent comments have added fuel to the fire.
He accused the club’s leaders of disseminating false information to the press, aiming to tarnish the reputation of certain players they wished to offload.
“Club leaders who put false information in the press by sullying the image of a player they want to see leave,” he wrote, accompanied by a vomit emoji to underscore his disdain.
The midfielder, who played a key role in Senegal’s Africa Cup of Nations triumph, defended the integrity and commitment of his fellow teammates.
“In addition, in the end, people are not fooled, they know that it is false. Especially since the players targeted are irreproachable and give their all on the field for the club,” he stated.
Gueye’s remarks suggest that the affected players have been unjustly portrayed and deserve better treatment from the club’s management.
Gueye’s criticism extended to the broader approach of the club’s leadership, urging them to adopt a more respectful and honest strategy.
“What respect in return? At the right time, you have to know when to stop, respect people and find a new strategy. A word to the wise,” he concluded.
This public outburst is unexpected, especially considering Gueye’s contributions to Marseille during his tenure.
His comments reflect deeper issues within the club’s management and their handling of player relations.
As Gueye settles into his new role at Villarreal, his parting words have left a significant mark on the narrative surrounding Olympique de Marseille’s current management practices.
Gueye’s departure and subsequent statements highlight a turbulent period for OM, raising questions about the club’s internal dynamics and their impact on player morale.
It remains to be seen how the club’s management will respond to these allegations and whether any changes will be implemented to address the concerns raised by the former Marseille midfielder.
