Bruno Genesio, recently appointed as OM‘s head coach, steps into the role following Habib Beye, whose tenure didn’t yield the desired turnaround in recent months. The 59-year-old tactician, who recently departed the LOSC, notably managed Martin Terrier during his time at Stade Rennais. The 29-year-old forward, currently with Bayer Leverkusen since 2024, is believed to be a strong fit for the Marseille squad.

Olympique de Marseille targets Martin Terrier, Bruno Genesio expresses enthusiasm

In recent days, the name of Martin Terrier has been widely discussed in connection with OM. The 29-year-old player is reportedly a key prospect being evaluated by the Marseille management for a potential transfer. This move would reunite him with Bruno Genesio, under whom he previously thrived at Rennes between 2020 and 2024. Sources close to the club confirm OM‘s strong interest in Martin Terrier. While direct player-to-sporting director calls are unusual, it is understood that initial discussions are underway with the player’s representatives. However, no formal offer has yet been submitted to Leverkusen. It is clear that Bruno Genesio holds the player in extremely high regard, expressing immense admiration for his abilities.

Genesio’s profound admiration for Terrier

As the newly appointed coach of OM, Bruno Genesio is tasked with steering the Marseille club back to prominence. The former LOSC manager would undoubtedly welcome the arrival of a player he has previously coached and knows exceptionally well. Martin Terrier remains under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2029, with his current market value estimated at €9 million. To facilitate any potential transfer, OM will first need to orchestrate several player sales to bolster its financial position.
