Luiz Felipe: OM Exit Confirmed

According to information from Provence, OM and Luiz Felipe found an agreement to terminate the Italian-Brazilian contract, only 6 months after its arrival from Saudi Arabia.

The passage of Luiz Felipe in Marseille will not have marked the memories. Only four game pieces played in six months before leaving the Marseille ship. The La Provence newspaper claims that Olympique de Marseille and the player have found common ground to terminate the Italian-Brazilian contract. RMC Sport confirms the information.

The rupture should be effective from June 30 following several weeks of negotiations between the two parties. Luiz Felipe put his suitcases in Marseille in January 2025 after a year and a half to play in Saudi Arabia. He had trouble adapting to Ligue 1 and practically did not have the opportunity to express himself. Physical problems have also prevented the former Lazio from finding colors on the side of the Old Port.

A good state of mind despite the injuries

The central defender still contributed to second place in the OM championship according to President Pablo Longoria: “Luiz Felipe, we haven’t seen it much for different reasons, but there are always elements that people cannot grasp. In group dynamics, in the difficult period, {…} He is one of the players who are very important in the group’s cohesion, he brought everyone in the same direction and that is part of the things that we cannot always see from the outside. ”

A good state of mind to greet but which was not enough. The club has already found its replacement in the person of CJ Edgan-Riley, recruited in central hinge. Luiz Felipe could bounce back to Betis Seville.
