Despite signing a contract at Watford for the next five seasons, midfielder Pape Gueye refuses to join the English club, and is looking for another destination. Angers is interested, OM also according to La Provence, but the blurred situation of the player greatly complicates the matter.

Long announced in the sights of Olympique de Marseille, Le Havre midfielder Pape Gueye finally signed up for Watford in April. But the native of Montreuil, who believes he was cheated by his former agent, disputes this transfer and does not intend to continue with the Hornets. A priori, the English club does not intend to pose too many difficulties to its recruit and would be ready to give up the Senegalese. Since then, the sum of 5 million euros, to free him from the Hornets, is announced, but this could be lower.

According to Footmercato, Watford offered the player a fairly low salary. Indeed, if he arrived in the English club, which is not planned, he would receive, over the five years of his contract, between 1.5 and 1.7 million euros, or less than 30,000 euros gross per month. A sum on which the aforementioned French clubs will probably have no trouble aligning themselves if they wish to recruit him for next year.
