Olympique de Marseille manages squad changes and transfers

Olympique de Marseille is actively managing its squad during the final stages of the transfer window, focusing on both player departures to reduce the wage bill and strategic new signings.

In terms of leadership, Timothy Weah has been named club captain following the removal of the armband from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Weah expressed his pride in the new role and his commitment to the club. Meanwhile, manager Bruno Genesio has expressed confidence in goalkeeper Jeffrey De Lange, despite ongoing searches for a replacement for Geronimo Rulli.

Regarding transfers, Jean-Clair Todibo has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to join Marseille from West Ham, prioritizing the French club over AS Monaco. However, the move depends on the club reaching an agreement with the English side and further squad reductions.

Several players are also linked with exits. The club has set a price of 22 million euros for midfielder Quinten Timber, with FC Porto and Premier League clubs showing interest. Additionally, 19-year-old winger Tadjidine Mmadi is attracting interest from FC Utrecht and Troyes. While Amine Gouiri has faced interest from clubs like Sevilla and Como, manager Bruno Genesio intends to keep the striker in the squad.
