Marseille due to pay Nantes €2m in Valentin Rongier deal following Champions’ League qualification

Le Phocéen report that Ligue 1 side Nantes are due €2m  after Marseille’s qualification for the Champions’ League last week.

Why? Owing to a clause in the two clubs’ deal for 25-year-old midfielder Valentin Rongier, who joined OM for €13m as part of the joker transfer window in September.

This deal will now cost Marseille a total of €15m following their UCL qualification which was confirmed last week when the LFP announced the definitive termination of the 2019/20 season, with OM sitting in 2nd.
