Gennaro Gattuso, the newly appointed coach of Olympique Marseille, has issued a veiled message regarding player commitment, stating that "people who want to be here must come." This comment appears to address the situation surrounding striker Santiago Giménez, who has been linked with a move to Lazio.

Reports suggest that Giménez, also known as 'Bebote,' may have turned down an offer from the Italian club. Gattuso's remarks imply that he prioritizes players who are fully dedicated to Marseille's project, potentially signaling a shift in recruitment strategy or a response to transfer speculation.

Giménez has garnered significant attention across Europe following his impressive goal-scoring record for Feyenoord. His potential availability has made him a sought-after target, but Gattuso's comments indicate that any potential transfer must align with the club's desire for committed players.
