Marseille extend contract of Algerian midfielder Yanis Sellami until 2029

Marseille have extended the contract of promising Algerian midfielder Yanis Sellami until June 2029, reaffirming the French club’s commitment to developing young talent.

The 19-year-old midfielder has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club for the coming years.

Sellami, who developed through Marseille’s youth academy, has been identified as one of the young players the club wants to continue developing within its ranks.

 “The Algerian midfielder, a graduate of the training centre, has extended his contract with the club until 2029,” Marseille announced.

The new deal represents a long-term commitment from Marseille to the young Algerian, who will now have the opportunity to continue his development within the club’s structure.

The decision also comes at a challenging start to the season for Marseille, with the club looking to build for the future while giving greater opportunities to emerging talents.

For Sellami, the contract extension provides stability as he continues his progression and looks to establish himself at senior level.

The 19-year-old’s Algerian background also makes his development one to follow closely, particularly as he continues his football education in France.

Marseille’s decision to secure Sellami’s future until 2029 underlines the club’s belief in his potential and its desire to retain promising players who have progressed through its academy.
