Olympique de Marseille relies on academy talents to bolster squad

Olympique de Marseille is looking to its youth academy to address technical gaps in the squad following a difficult summer transfer window. Manager Bruno Genesio is expected to integrate academy talents to bolster the current roster.

Two primary prospects are being monitored: 17-year-old attacking midfielder Milan Leccese and 18-year-old striker Antoine Valero. Leccese is currently weighing a first professional contract offer, with a decision expected before December. Meanwhile, Valero’s transition to the professional group depends on physical development and his ability to adapt to the intensity of adult training sessions.
