Olympique de Marseille still has a very high popularity rating, including among some players from the France team playing abroad.
With the arrival of Geoffrey Kondogbia – and perhaps before that of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang -, Olympique de Marseille has confirmed its ambition for the transfer window by attracting another experienced player at a very high level: Renan Lodi.

I know they are supporters who love the club and I am very happy to be able to represent them as well.“. Words that should not leave OM supporters indifferent…
