Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the transfer of Central African Republic star Geoffrey Kondogbia from Atletico Madrid to Marseille for 8 million euros. The midfielders will sign the documents with the French club soon.

Kondogbia is heading for the exit door after a lack of minutes kept him on the sidelines. The Rojiblancos had utilized the 30-year-old as a rotation player instead of a starter.

The midfielder’s new deal with Marseille is valid until the summer of 2027, as the club sees him as one of the long-term projects.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, will earn 8 million euros in the transfer of the player even as they look to make signings when the summer transfer window opens on July 1st.

Other names linked with a possible move away from the club include Joao Felix and Saul Niguez, who recently had an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
