In Marseille, the transfer window hasn’t really gone smoothly so far. Instead of well-known additions, there was the departure of coach Jorge Sampaoli, who was not satisfied with the work of his club. In Clauss, successor Igor Tudor could welcome an experienced player into his ranks, one of the kind Sampaoli would have liked to see, as the runners-up’ squad is rather sparse on the right flank.

If OM and Lens come to an agreement, Clauss would be waiting for the next milestone after his free transfer from Bielefeld in 2020: his debut in the “premier class”. Then Clauss would have made it from the 2nd Bundesliga via RC Lens to the Équipe Tricolore and the Champions League within two years.
