Luiz Felipe Ramos inherits the number 4 on his new jersey with Olympique de Marseille, following his transfer this Tuesday with the Marseille club. The 27-year-old player of Brazilian origin will now set foot on the pitch at the Vélodrome in the white and sky Marseille jersey. Arriving from Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, the central defender first revealed himself in Italy, under the colors of Lazio.
With the Rome club, he won several trophies, including an Italian Cup and the Supercup twice. He then wore the number 3 on his tunic. He then spent a short season with Real Betis Balompié in La Liga. On this occasion Luiz Felipe Ramos performed under number 19, during his 34 matches played in Andalusia.
His previous numbers are already taken at OM
The defender then headed to Saudi Arabia's star club Al-Ittihad to play alongside the two Frenchmen, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante. New jersey, new flocked number – 5 – on his back, with the Jeddah club, he will play 28 matches, but only one this 2024-2025 season, due to recurring injuries which have kept him away from the pitch .
Today, he puts down his crampons at the Orange Vélodrome and for once, he will wear a new number: 4. Perhaps it is because in the collective of Roberto De Zerbi's men already in place, the 3 (Quentin Merlin), the 5 (to captain Leonardo Balerdi), or the 19 (Geoffrey Kondogbia), others are already taken.
