Marseille welcomes Nice relegation due to Lorenzi release clause

Olympique de Marseille would view a relegation of OGC Nice to Ligue 2 as advantageous. The reason is the release clause held by Gregory Lorenzi with the French club. Gregory Lorenzi has been announced as the new sporting director of Marseille. His appointment was confirmed by the club in recent weeks. Lorenzi possesses a release clause that is linked to OGC Nice, commonly referred to as the Aiglons. The clause was part of an agreement he signed while still negotiating his future. The release clause was agreed upon before Lorenzi chose to join Marseille. At that time he had given his consent to the clause with Nice. Should Nice be relegated to Ligue 2, the clause could be triggered, allowing Lorenzi to move without further obstacles. This potential activation aligns with Marseille’s interests. The situation adds a strategic dimension to the upcoming transfer window as Marseille monitors Nice’s league performance. The club may benefit if the clause comes into effect.
