Announced as a departure from the beginning of the summer, this defender of OM will have found a way in England.
This summer, Olympique de Marseille is implementing a transfer window of madness. In fact, OM are the most recruited team in France with no less than 11 players recruited. A good transfer window varies greatly with the club’s financial situation. For a few years now, the club’s financial situation has not been good, and OM had to sell to avoid being targeted by UEFA and its financial fair play. This summer, only Luan Peres was sold to Fenerbahçe (€5 million). Far from satisfying the club’s recruitment department, Sale has been trying to find a platform for the most “bankable” players in the workforce.
Among these players is Duje Caleta-car. Landing at OM 4 years ago, the Croatian international defender has established himself as a pillar of central defense, playing 130 games in all competitions (5 goals, 4 assists) with the Orange Velodrome residents. Physically strong and good at recovery, the player caught the eye of Liverpool Reds, who were ready to make an insane offer to recruit him, but the deal fell through at the last minute.
In recent hours, a new Premier League club is eyeing him. Indeed, according to recent speculations, the Southampton club would be interested in the services of the 25-year-old defender. Information disclosed by Belgian journalist Sacha Davolieri for whom:
“Southampton FC are mulling a move for Duje Galeta to replace Jan Bednarek’s possible departure! The defender is already on the Saints’ shortlist to discuss with his representatives »

A year from the end of his contract, the player will be forced out to bail out the coffers. A challenge for him as he finds competition tough with the signings of Mbemba, Bailly, Gigot and Touré, not counting Kolasinac (who started last match). Aspiring to be part of the 23-man squad to represent Croatia in Qatar a few months before the World Cup, he will be keen to find playing time as Galeta-Car has only played 7 minutes this season. .
Calda-Car is still popular across the Channel. Let’s hope that this (potential) departure will restore a considerable amount of coffers, with the player’s special base estimated at 16 million euros. relocation.
