The winter transfer window of Olympique de Marseille saw the notable arrival of Luiz Felipe Ramos, an Italian-Brazilian defender with a solid CV. Presented this Wednesday at the Commanderie training center alongside Fabrizio Ravanelli, Luiz Felipe is committed until 2026. But Marseille supporters will have to wait before seeing him set foot on the Ligue 1 pitches. If his medical examination has validated his transfer, his physical state is of concern, as highlighted in the daily newspaper the Team in today's edition.
A physical state that questions
After 18 months at Al-Ittihad, where he only played sporadically, the player has not appeared in competition since August 24. A thigh injury also precipitated his departure from the Saudi club and today requires him to undergo intensive fitness work, which began in Rome last month. With several muscular problems having disrupted his last seasons, the Italian's ability to string together matches is an unknown factor for the OM staff. However, his technical qualities and his experience are unanimous, convincing the Marseille leaders to integrate him into their project as soon as the opportunity presented itself. The former Lazio defender will now have to work hard to find a competitive level and establish himself in a defensive sector where his contribution could be valuable.
