The Olympique de Marseille began its preparation for the coming season with a victory against Aston Villa at the Vélodrome stadium, thanks to a goal by Mason Greenwood. This performance is part of a reinforcement of the team, with particular attention to mercato. The club managed to get a good grip on DomiNik Greif, the Slovenian international guardian of Real Majorka, after a fierce competition with Olympique Lyonnais and Lille. This transfer, estimated at 4 million euros plus bonuses, represents an important victory for Lyon, which seeks to fill the start of Lucas Perrià Leeds.

The offensive reinforcement race doesn’t stop there. Lyon and Lille also showed interest in Yiann Gboho, a winger of Toulouse FC, known for his remarkable performances. The Toulouse FC, although weakened by several starts, does not want to separate from its player for less than 12 million euros. Competition is strong, with Besiktas also eager to recruit him. This illustrates the difficulty of getting key players and the club strategy to increase their numbers before the season begins.

The Olympique de Marseille is preparing with strong support from its supporters for the start of the Ligue 1 2025-26. 250 Marseille fans will be allowed to go to Rennes for the first game of the championship, a trip that will take place under enhanced police supervision due to the reputation of the match. The team of Roberto De Zerbi, vice-champion last season, hopes to confirm his dynamic in the Champions League and in the championship. The club relies on the enthusiasm of its supporters to motivate the team and achieve its goals.
