Aux armes et cætera

From Argentina to Morocco, and through the French U20, OM will be represented everywhere during the international break. Here’s the complete calendar of the Olympians.

Through his first words to supporters, Hamed Junior Traoré revealed more than just a state of mind: a desire to give everything, complete trust in Roberto De Zerbi, and the pride of representing Ivory Coast — all resonating with OM’s history.

The transfer window is closed in France and across Europe, but the special “joker” rule leaves a door open. For OM, that means one name could resurface: Neal Maupay, potentially linked to rival Lyon.

Despite his promising loan at OM, Ismaël Bennacer did not return to the Vélodrome this summer. Stuck at Milan and rejecting Turkey, the Algerian international now finds himself in a difficult spot.

The window has closed in France and across Europe’s top leagues, but some markets remain open. For OM, it’s a last chance to offload three unwanted players: Amine Harit, Pol Lirola and Neal Maupay.

At 20 years old, Arthur Vermeeren joins OM with a clear message to the supporters: to give everything for the club. A bet on the future that must already make an impact now.

So close to signing for OM, Dani Ceballos could now head to Turkey instead. A U-turn that leaves Marseille with a real sense of disappointment.

Star recruit at OM, Pavard arrives from Inter with an impressive CV. But in Lombardy, the club didn’t really fight to hold on to him. Here’s why.

“Rarely seen such a strong squad at Marseille”: Papin salutes a XXL mercato but reminds everyone that only time and work will turn potential into greatness.

Despite international calls, Greenwood has decided: his future is with OM first. The 23-year-old will delay his national team choice and focus fully on Marseille.

With Rabiot gone, OM are searching for their new midfield maestro. O’Riley is the frontrunner, but Gouiri, Traoré and Nadir could also claim the No.10 role.

OM have unveiled their 22-man list for the 2025–26 Champions League. While the backbone is intact, five senior players won’t take part in the European campaign.
