It’s the end of a long soap opera for Bamba Dieng. After the failure of his transfer to Nice last summer, the Marseille striker (22) will leave OM to join Lorient, where he has been since Tuesday evening. The Senegalese was waiting for his club and the Merlus to find an agreement. After many adventures, it’s done this Friday. He will commit for two and a half years, plus two other optional years, which will depend in particular on the number of matches played. OM will recover around €7m in the transaction, plus possibly €3m in bonuses.
