Om eyes martin terrier as bruno genesio expresses strong approval
Following a challenging season, Olympique de Marseille is determined to make a fresh start for the 2025-2026 campaign. While significant player departures are anticipated due to financial constraints, the club is reportedly considering bringing back a familiar Ligue 1 forward. The name Martin Terrier has emerged in Marseille, a prospect that appears to greatly excite Bruno Genesio, the club’s newly appointed head coach.
Bruno Genesio steps in as the new coach for OM, taking over from Habib Beye, whose recent tenure did not yield the desired turnaround. The 59-year-old tactician, having recently departed LOSC, previously managed Stade Rennais, where he notably coached Martin Terrier. The 29-year-old attacker, who has been with Bayer Leverkusen since 2024, is seen as a strong fit for OM.
OM’s interest in Martin Terrier excites Bruno Genesio
In recent days, Martin Terrier’s name has been prominently linked with OM. The 29-year-old forward is understood to be a potential target for the Marseille management as they explore recruitment options. A move to OM would see him reunite with Bruno Genesio, who coached him during his successful spell at Rennes between 2020 and 2024. Reports indicate that while there is mutual interest, a formal offer to Leverkusen has not yet been made. Discussions are currently underway with the player’s representatives. It is clear that Bruno Genesio holds the player in extremely high regard, expressing immense enthusiasm for his potential arrival, stating he “adores” and is “extremely fond” of Terrier.
Genesio’s strong endorsement for Terrier
As the officially appointed new head coach of OM, Bruno Genesio is tasked with steering the Marseille club back to prominence. The former LOSC boss would be delighted to welcome a player he has previously managed and knows intimately. Martin Terrier remains under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2029, with his current market value estimated at €9 million. For OM to secure his services, the club will first need to orchestrate several player sales to bolster its financial position.
