Harit Basaksehir Maupay and OM victory in preparation

Here is a three-paragraph summary of the news of Olympique de Marseille on September 13, 2025. One of the major developments is the departure of Amine Harit to Istambul Basaksehir, where he enters into a loan with option of purchase. This decision, formalized by the two clubs, marks the end of a difficult period for the Moroccan midfielder, which sought to revive his career after having been used little under the direction of Roberto De Zerbi. For OM, this operation reduces the payroll and clarifies the choices of the coach, who continues to rebuild his workforce.

At the same time, the future of Neal Maupay is uncertain. The attacker could leave OM earlier than expected, attracting the interest of Olympique Lyonnais. Maupay, although appreciated in the locker room and having achieved an encouraging first part of the season, saw his prospects shrink with the arrival of new players. A start in mid-September is therefore no longer to be excluded, paving the way for a possible new opportunity for the player.

Finally, OM won a large 4-0 win over Lorient at the Velodrome, preparing a heavy schedule with important matches in the Champions League against Real Madrid and in the championship against PSG. The victory was marked by the first successful titles of players like Benjamin Pavard and Nayef Aguard, both of whom scored. Despite the concern about Amine Gouirien’s shoulder, the team seems to regain confidence and efficiency under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi.
