Geoffrey Kondogbia has agreed to remain with Olympique de Marseille until June 2027 under a contract featuring a unique performance-linked salary clause. Described as a “pact inédit,” the agreement stipulates that if the 33-year-old midfielder fails to appear in at least 30 matches during the 2025-2026 season, his monthly earnings of approximately €415,000 will be reduced by 40%. This measure was implemented as the club seeks to manage a heavy wage bill.

Following the contract agreement, the club has considered repositioning Kondogbia from midfield to central defense. This tactical shift is being explored to address his recurring injury issues and limited playing time while maximizing his physical profile. Although Marseille has sought to facilitate his departure, limited interest from other clubs and his existing contract suggest he may remain with the squad for another season.
