The ASSE experienced a reinforcement of its defensive reserve with the departure of two key players. Negotiations for Mohamed Lamine Ndiaye’s first professional contract failed, depriving the team of a promising young talent. More significant, Fodé Camara left the club to join Olympique de Marseille, ending a waiting period for the central defender. Camara, recruited three years earlier from Torcy, had initially demonstrated strong potential, but his progression had been hampered by recurrent injuries. Despite this, he had shown signs of improvement in recent months.

The choice of Fodé Camara to engage with OM is not typical of young players opting for more prestigious clubs. ASSE had initially proposed a professional trainee contract, while OM quickly proposed a full professional contract, convincing the 18-year-old defender. Since arriving in Marseille, Camara has joined the team and is preparing for the season with the U19 Nationals, while being quickly integrated into the professional group.

The recognition of Camara’s talent took the form of a summons to the OM internship in the Netherlands by Roberto De Zerbi. This opportunity is a great reward for the player, who will now have the opportunity to prove his value and hope to make his Ligue 1 debut this season. His transition to OM marks an important step in his career, paving the way for a potential rise in professional football.
