A sense of finality appears to have settled over one Olympique de Marseille star’s time at the club after he wiped all traces of his association from social media — just days after it was made clear he was no longer part of the club’s future plans.
The unnamed player, whose identity has not yet been officially confirmed by the club, sparked a wave of speculation on Monday after fans noticed his Instagram and Twitter bios had been stripped of any mention of Marseille. Photos in club colours were also removed, further fueling rumours of an imminent departure.
Sources close to the club suggest the decision followed a direct conversation with the player’s representatives, during which he was informed he would not be part of new manager Roberto De Zerbi’s plans for the upcoming season. The player, who had been part of Marseille’s first-team squad in recent campaigns, is now expected to leave in the coming weeks — either on loan or via a permanent transfer.
While the club has yet to release an official statement, the social media purge has been interpreted as a clear message from the player: the relationship with Marseille is over.
Fans have reacted with a mix of disappointment and understanding, with many acknowledging the club’s evolving direction under new management. However, some supporters voiced frustration over the way the situation has been handled publicly, with one fan posting: “He deserved better. This isn’t how you treat a loyal servant to the club.”
With the summer transfer window now open, attention will turn to where the player might land next — and whether Marseille will provide clarity on the matter in the days to come.
