Jonathan Clauss to remain at Marseille, despite being pushed towards exit | OneFootball

Jonathan Clauss (31) had been linked with a shock exit from Olympique de Marseille, however, the France international now looks set to remain at the club, at least until the end of the season, according to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins.

An undisputed starter under Gennaro Gattuso, Clauss has enjoyed a strong season with Marseille, which has not only consolidated his position as a key player at the club but also seen him earn back his position in the France squad ahead of EURO 2024.

Clauss came off injured against AS Monaco in tears. Marseille feared the worst for their right-back, but tests have failed to show any issues. Foot Mercato report that this incident has led OM’s hierarchy to question Clauss’ commitment. Les Phocéens reportedly believe that their right-back is more concerned about his place in the France squad at EURO 2024 than about the trajectory of the struggling club.

According to L’Équipe, Marseille, through intermediaries, offered Clauss to West Ham United and Galatasaray, however, the player himself has shown himself unwilling to leave. Clauss now looks set to remain at OM, as is the player’s wish.
