New recruit for Olympique de Marseille! After Faris Moumbagna’s serious injury during the first day of Ligue 1, the Phocéens had decided to look for a new center forward. And the lucky one is called Neal Maupay.

According to several media outlets, including L’Equipe, the 28-year-old French striker is joining OM on loan from Everton. The deal includes a mandatory purchase option, estimated at €4 million. The player will then sign a contract with the Olympian club until 2028.

After an early start at Nice, then stints at Saint-Etienne and Brest, Maupay had been playing in England since 2017. He successively wore the colours of Brentford and Brighton before joining Everton in 2022.
