LOSC's next opponent in the Coupe de France, Olympique de Marseille has already made a splash on the transfer market with the arrival of Luiz Felipe from Saudi Arabia.
Despite the difficulties that the TV rights drama may have caused, Ligue 1 McDonald's clubs are far from being cautious at the start of the winter transfer window. In addition to Stade Rennais, which has already paid a significant sum to secure the services of Seko Fofana, it is the turn of Olympique de Marseille to register a first movement. It was expected and it is now official: central defender Luiz Felipe (27), released by Al-Ittihad (Saudi Arabia), signed up with OM this Tuesday.
The Olympian management had given itself the mission of strengthening its rearguard following the difficulties encountered, like the few errors made during the reception of LOSC in mid-December, the situations of Lilian Brassier, Bamo Meïté and Chancel Mbemba as well as the disparate forms of Derek Cornelius and Leonardo Balerdi.
Thus, Bruno Genesio's men could find a more solid opponent from Marseille on January 14, during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Luiz Felipe could, however, not be in the best form for this clash as he has not played a single minute since August 24, 2024. Olympique de Marseille had already recorded 13 arrivals during the last transfer period.
