Genesio’s strong interest in former ligue 1 forward martin terrier for om

Bruno Genesio has officially taken the helm as the new coach of OM, stepping in after Habib Beye’s arrival failed to turn the team’s fortunes around in recent months. The 59-year-old tactician, who recently departed LOSC, previously had a notable stint at Stade Rennais. It was there that he had the opportunity to manage Martin Terrier. The 29-year-old forward, currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen since 2024, is believed to be a strong fit for OM.

Marseille’s interest in Martin Terrier, Bruno Genesio’s enthusiasm

In recent days, Martin Terrier’s name has been prominently linked with OM. The 29-year-old player is reportedly a target being explored by the Marseille management for a potential transfer. This move could see him reunite with Bruno Genesio, who coached him at Rennes where he enjoyed a successful period between 2020 and 2024. My sources indicate that while there’s clear interest from Olympique de Marseille in Martin Terrier, and vice versa, direct player-to-sporting director calls are unusual. However, I can confirm OM’s genuine interest in Martin Terrier. Currently, discussions are primarily with the player’s camp; no formal offer has yet been made to Leverkusen. There’s ongoing dialogue between the parties involved. Bruno Genesio holds the player in extremely high regard, he absolutely adores him.

“Bruno Genesio adores the player, he absolutely loves him”

As the newly appointed coach of OM, Bruno Genesio is tasked with guiding the Marseille club back to its former glory. The former LOSC manager would undoubtedly be delighted to welcome a player he has previously coached and knows exceptionally well. Martin Terrier, meanwhile, remains under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2029, and his current market valuation is estimated at €9 million. To facilitate this acquisition, OM will first need to orchestrate several player departures to replenish its financial reserves.
