Valentin Rongier rejected Marseille’s initial proposal for contract extension | OneFootball

According to a report from L’Équipe, Valentin Rongier (30) has rejected Olympique de Marseille’s initial proposal for a contract extension. The former captain is about to enter the final year of his current contract, and his future at the club remains unclear.

The French outlet writes that negotiations between the two parties could quickly resume, but they explain that Marseille will have to be convincing. L’Équipe estimates that Rongier is paid less than the other starting midfielders, and the midfielder will likely want to be paid in line with his teammates.

Could Valentin Rongier attract interest on the transfer market?

There would likely be no shortage of clubs interested in prying Rongier away from La Provence if they cannot agree to a contract extension. Olympique Lyonnais had frequently been in contact in the past, while during the past winter transfer window, Stade Rennais and OGC Nice were keen to secure his services.
