Lassana Diarra Joins Marseille on Four-Year Contract
Lassana Diarra has officially completed his move to Olympique Marseille, signing a four-year contract with the Ligue 1 club. The 30-year-old French midfielder, formerly of Real Madrid, has successfully passed his medical examination, clearing the way for his long-awaited return to French football.
Diarra, who has not played in Ligue 1 since his early years with Le Havre, will now have the opportunity to make his mark in France’s top division. Since leaving Lokomotiv Moscow eleven months ago, the French international has been focused on maintaining his fitness, training in New York, and later with both West Ham and Inter Milan.
While Diarra’s career has taken him to some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Real Madrid, the move to Marseille represents a fresh chapter for the midfielder. Despite his vast experience, Diarra has never played in Ligue 1, making this a significant step in his career.
Marseille will be hoping that the experienced defensive midfielder can provide stability and depth to their squad as they continue to push for success in both domestic and European competitions.
