Rumours, deals and smoke: the OM mercato decoded.
Far from OM, Bennacer is set to head to Zagreb. A fresh start in a new environment – a smart loan deal that could reshape his career.
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.
Smart deal or risky bet? Pavard arrives in Marseille, but OM keeps another goal in mind: making a new push for Ordóñez this winter.
Stability was promised, frenzy delivered. From early plans to a final-day storm, OM lived through a transfer window of two halves, full of twists and urgency.
