Two Franco-Algerian players have caused a crisis at their club in France after refusing to renew their contracts.
They are Enzo Sternal and Yanis Sellami, players for Olympique de Marseille. Indeed, Sternal continues to make waves in France by refusing to extend his contract with his current club, Olympique de Marseille.
Despite being only 16 years old, the young talent aspires to sign a professional contract and wants to play with the first team. This refusal to renew the contract has created some tension within the Marseille club, especially due to Sternal’s promising talent.
On his side, his compatriot and teammate, Yanis Sellami, finds himself in a similar situation. At 17 years old, Sellami is considered one of the biggest hopes of Marseille’s youth academy. Although his position is more flexible than Sternal’s, the newspaper L’Équipe reported on Monday that the club’s management had not yet succeeded in convincing him to renew his contract. Sellami, like Sternal, is probably seeking assurances of playing time with the first team as well as an improvement in his contract terms.
The administration of Olympique de Marseille is determined to extend the contracts of these two young talents. However, according to information from L’Équipe, it seems unlikely that an agreement will be reached in the coming days. The situation remains uncertain and continues to provoke lively discussions among French football supporters and observers. The early talents of Sternal and Sellami and their desire to obtain opportunities with the first team highlight the challenges clubs face in retaining their young prodigies.
