Steve Mandanda’s departure from Olympique de Marseille (OM) is reportedly linked to the club’s financial situation following the expenses incurred during the last summer transfer window. In an effort to balance the books and navigate the challenges posed by the “75% tax,” OM is expected to part ways with Mandanda in the upcoming summer transfer window. While Monaco is a possible destination, Atletico Madrid has emerged as the frontrunner, prioritizing Mandanda to bolster their goalkeeping position. The Madrid club, anticipating the departure of Thibaut Courtois, sees Mandanda as a reliable choice to safeguard their defense, especially with their likely qualification for the next Champions League season. Mandanda has expressed his openness to experiencing football abroad, and Atletico Madrid aims to provide him with this opportunity. OM is expected to begin the search for Mandanda’s replacement.
