Genesio’s marseille reign: a potential reunion with martin terrier?

Listen now3 min

Following a disappointing campaign, Olympique Marseille is poised for a significant reset ahead of the 2025-2026 season. While financial considerations may necessitate several player departures, the club is also exploring potential new signings, with a familiar Ligue 1 attacker reportedly on their radar. Martin Terrier’s name is circulating in Marseille, a prospect that appears to greatly appeal to Bruno Genesio, the newly appointed manager of the Phocaean City club.

Bruno Genesio steps into his role as the new head coach of the OM, succeeding Habib Beye, whose recent arrival did not yield the desired turnaround. The 59-year-old tactician, who recently departed LOSC, previously managed Stade Rennais, where he notably coached Martin Terrier. The 29-year-old forward, who has been with Bayer Leverkusen since 2024, is considered a strong fit for OM.

OM explores martin terrier option, bruno genesio’s strong approval

In recent days, Martin Terrier‘s name has emerged as a potential target for OM. The 29-year-old player could be a key acquisition for the Marseille leadership. Should he join, it would mark a reunion with Bruno Genesio, who previously managed him at Rennes, where Terrier enjoyed a successful period between 2020 and 2024. While the notion of a player directly contacting a sporting director might be unusual, the intense interest from OM in Martin Terrier is clear. Currently, discussions are underway with the player’s camp, though no formal offer has yet been made to Bayer Leverkusen. It is understood that Genesio holds the player in extremely high regard, expressing immense enthusiasm for his potential arrival, describing his admiration as profound.

“bruno genesio adores the player, he’s incredibly keen”

As the newly appointed head coach of OM, Bruno Genesio is tasked with steering the Marseille club back to prominence. The former LOSC coach would undoubtedly be delighted to welcome a player he has previously managed and knows exceptionally well. Martin Terrier is currently under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2029, with his market value estimated at €9M. For OM to secure his services, the club will first need to orchestrate several player sales to replenish its finances.
