This Tuesday, July 15, 2025, the news of Olympique de Marseille is marked by several important developments. The Greek club of Panathinaikos has begun negotiations with OM for the transfer of Rubรฉen Blanco, goaltender currently relegated to third place in the Marseille hierarchy. After being used as a lining during his first seasons, Blanco saw his playing time decrease due to injuries and the arrival of new guards. OM will have to evaluate a possible transfer allowance in relation to the wage bill reduction, while Blanco might see it as an opportunity to re-launch his career.
At the same time, OM’s mercato seems to accelerate with the potential arrival of Timothy Weah, an American international from Juventus Turin. Italian media confirms a significant advance in the negotiations between the two clubs, with a clear will from OM to recruit this versatile player able to evolve on the right corridor, a position that Roberto De Zerbi wants to strengthen. Weah, who had a limited time playing in Italy, is attracted by OM to regain a more stable living environment and restart his career before the World Cup 2026.
Finally, the Pierre-Emerik Aubameyang file is making encouraging progress. The Gabonese attacker reportedly reached an agreement to break his contract with Al-Qadisiya and is clearly planning to return to OM. Information indicates that he is looking for housing in Marseille, a sign of significant progress in the negotiations. OM, under the direction of Roberto De Zerbi, sees in Aubameyang an experienced reinforcement able to bring experience and offensive depth to its staff, while meeting the expectations of the player to find a stable family environment.
