Medhi Benatia is “tired out” by the ongoing situation at Olympique de Marseille and could leave the club in the summer, Sacha Tavolieri understands.
OM are in full crisis mode, despite sitting fourth in Ligue 1 and being in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France. Roberto De Zerbi departed earlier this week, leaving Marseille in search of yet another manager. Previously, Benatia tied his future to that of De Zerbi, saying that when the Italian leaves, he would, too.
Following his exit, RMC Sport reported that Benatia also offered his resignation, but that was rejected, and so – for now – he remains at the club. But how long he remains is another question. Tavolieri understands that the sporting director is “tired out” by the situation and he could leave at the end of the campaign if there is no improvement.
Those doubts about Benatia’s long-term future at the Vélodrome come amid interest from clubs in Serie A, Tavolieri adds.
