Marseille Players Take Pay Cut to Secure Amine Harit Loan Deal

According to information from RMC Sports, the players who made the transfer of the [Atlas Lion] possible are Alvaro Gonzalez, Pol Lirola and Leonardo Balerdi. The validation of his transfer came at a time when he no longer believed in it. The former FC Nantes player is therefore on loan from Schalke 04 without a purchase option. His salary will be fully covered by OM.

To afford [Amine Harit], the OM leaders tried several avenues to stay within the financial margin imposed by the DNGC. But the solution will come from Alvaro Gonzalez, Pol Lirola and Leonardo Balerdi. Their salary effort for this year will be caught up over time in the coming seasons, the club’s leaders said, stressing that the Moroccan player also made efforts to enable this transaction.

According to the same source, other players called Pablo Longoria, the chairman of OM’s executive board, on Wednesday to offer him a salary reduction to facilitate things. Their effort has therefore been widely appreciated by the OM management.
