Negotiations are currently being held between OM and Luiz Felipe to terminate the 28 -year -old defender's contract, whose adventure in Marseille has been a real fiasco since his arrival in January.
Used only 4 times in Ligue 1 since his arrival in January, Luiz Felipe only played 120 minutes in the colors of Olympique de Marseille. In the space of half a season, this is not very heavy for the former Al-Ittihad player, recruited free from any contract at the winter transfer window after the termination of his contract in Saudi Arabia. OM saw it as a great opportunity to relaunch an experienced player capable of strengthening a gaming sector in which the Roberto de Zerbi team was in trouble.

The bet was a loser, and Marseille quickly wishes to correct his error. Thus, according to the 10 Sport, negotiations are currently underway between the Marseille board and Luiz Felipe for an amicable termination of his contract, which runs until June 2026. The idea is clearly to negotiate an early break in the contract, even if Marseille pays a small compensation, so as not to have to endure the entire salary of the player still a season. An option that Luiz Felipe could accept, for the right and simple reason that Italian-Brazilian is coveted.
OM is negotiating an amicable contract
Sevilla FC, Betis and Rayo Vallecano are interested. Big Italian clubs like Naples or AC Milan were also mentioned, they who have not forgotten the very good passage of the player to Lazio in the past. OM has proven in recent months that it was able to quickly correct its mistakes, as for example was done with the departures of Brassier, Wahi and Koné, only six months after their arrival. With Luiz Felipe, the Olympian leaders wish to act in the same way, also releasing a place in defense for a possible recruit during the summer. No one in Marseille has in any case been marked by the passage of the former Al-Ittihad player, as his adventure will have turned to absolute fiasco.
