Benjamin Pavard - Transfers to Olympique Marseille Pavard has joined Olympique Marseille on loan with an option to buy from Inter.

Impact Pavard was at times limited by injuries during his two years at the club but was generally good when available. He recorded 40 tackles, 30 interceptions and 102 clearances in 35 games in 2024/2025, contributing to 11 clean sheets and scoring once. He'll likely earn a bring role quickly in Ligue 1, while Yann Aurel Bisseck and Manuel Akanji will replace him at Inter.

Leonardo Balerdi - Own goal decides the Olympico Balerdi had an own goal, two tackles (one won) and nine clearances in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Lyon.

Impact Balerdi's attempted clearance crossed his own line for the 87th-minute winner, deciding the match after Marseille had defended stoutly with 10 men from the half-hour mark. The Marseille captain is having a horrible start to the season, being at fault on almost all the goals conceded by his team so far, although he did contribute decently in the defensive area with nine clearances and two tackles against the Gones. Balerdi will hope to get his ideas back on track for the game against Lorient after the international break, as the clash with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu will come only a few days later.

Hamed Junior Traore - Decent first outing with OM Traore recorded two shots (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Lyon.

Impact Traore was in the starting XI for his first game with Marseille, playing on the left wing and contributing decently against the Gones. He was substituted in the 86th minute due to cramps, just before the decisive goal. The Ivorian registered two shots, six crosses and four corners as he handled set-pieces himself. That said, Marseille are reportedly signing Matt O'Riley on deadline day, and the attacking midfielder would likely take over set-piece duties if the move becomes official.

Geronimo Rulli - Four saves in defeat Rulli made four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Lyon.

Impact Rulli made four saves as Marseille fell 1-0 at Groupama Stadium, finally beaten by a late own goal in the 87th minute from Leonardo Balerdi. The goalkeeper denied several big chances from the Gones while Marseille played with one man down. That said, it was not enough to avoid a second defeat of the season in three games. Rulli still has not secured a clean sheet this season and will look to get one against Lorient after the international break, just a few days before a trip to face Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Amine Harit - Fit for bench Harit (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Lyon.

Impact Harit was expected to be an option Sunday and is, with the midfielder finding a spot on the bench to face Lyon. He will look to make his debut this season if he can appear off the bench, testing his legs after a few games out.
