Olympique Marseille president Pablo Longoria was determined to sell Boubacar Kamara this summer.
The midfielder was sold to Aston Villa at the end of last season.
La Provence says Longoria chose to sell Kamara with his contract running down.
The president did everything to sell the midfielder in order to recover some money before his contract expired.
OM have been criticised for allowing the France international to leave this summer.
