Recruited by Olympique de Marseille in January 2024 for a check for 4 million euros, Ulisses Garcia (28 years old) still does not know what his future holds a few weeks before the resumption of the French championship. Under contract until June 2028 with the Marseille team, the former Young Boys player does not necessarily fit into the plans of Roberto De Zerbi, the new coach of the Olympians, who arrived from Brighton.

In this respect, we are also able to tell you that the Swiss international (7 caps) has a good popularity rating on the transfer market.

If the German club has already expressed its interest, no offer has yet been made to the Marseille leaders. Versatile, skillful offensively and with an irreproachable state of mind, the former Werder Bremen player is, moreover, very appreciated on the German market, in particular thanks to his experience at Young Boys, a club very followed across the Rhine.

For his part and still according to our indiscretions, the last 8th of Ligue 1 is, himself, open to a sale, on condition of recovering 4 million euros. Notice to those interested…
