As far as Watford are concerned, Pape Gueye is set to join them after his contract with Le Harve expires at the end of this month. He has signed a five-year deal at Vicarage Road.
The 21-year-old had earlier expressed his unhappiness about the move and had stressed he will not be joining the Premier League club this summer, despite signing a five-year contract.
Two days ago, Footmercato reported the major reason behind the Frenchman’s frustration is the ‘tiny salary’ offered by Nigel Pearson’s side.
It is believed to be around €30,000 per month and the report also suggested the English club are looking for around €5m to cut ties with the defensive midfielder.
These claims have also been relayed by journalist Manu Lonjon, who reported André Villas-Boas’ side ‘directly contacted Watford’ to find out their plans for Gueye.
Lonjon also stressed the Ligue 1 club are willing to offer around €3m to Watford.
L’OM a directement contacté Watford afin de connaître leurs intentions concernant Pape Gueye !
Le joueur est sous contrat. L’OM pourrait proposer 3M de dédommagements au club Anglais.— Manu ⭐️⭐️ (@ManuLonjon) June 17, 2020
