West Ham United tell Olympique de Marseille: Mads Hermansen is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Olympique de Marseille

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Olympique de Marseille are no longer polite ones.

Match12 Sep 2026

4 matches without a goal for Olympique de Marseille

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Jelle Van Neck at Olympique de Marseille

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jelle Van Neck is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Riyad Mahrez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Olympique de Marseille

Rayan Aït-Nouri and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match12 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Olympique de Marseille against FC Nantes

0‑1 to FC Nantes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Nayef Aguerd reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Benoît Poirier faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Benoît Poirier after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Igor Paixão runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 46. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Benfica tell Olympique de Marseille: Vangelis Pavlidis is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Moctar Guirassy breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market24 Aug 2026

Olympique de Marseille turn down Sheffield Wednesday for Geoffrey Kondogbia

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market24 Aug 2026

Stéphane Sparagna hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Olympique de Marseille can pretend not to have heard.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Olympique de Marseille

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Looking ahead24 Aug 2026

Derby week at Olympique de Marseille

Olympique Lyonnais next, which means a week that starts on Monday. Everything else on this page will be forgotten by Saturday; this fixture will not be forgotten for a year.

Nobody on the pitch touched Emerson

7.31, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Olympique de Marseille had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Benoît Poirier on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Benoît Poirier after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
