The summer transfer window is upon us once again, and this year's transfer market in Marseille has already seen some significant signings. The core signing that fans are eagerly anticipating is the arrival of Brazilian winger Lucas Paqueta from AS Monaco.
Paqueta, who was previously linked with moves to Manchester United and Arsenal, is expected to make a big impact at Stade Vélodrome this season. His speed and dribbling ability will be key assets for Marseille as they look to compete in the top flight of French football.
Paqueta's signing comes after a successful loan spell at Marseille last season, where he scored six goals in 16 appearances. He also impressed during his time on loan at Portuguese club Braga, where he helped them win promotion to the top tier of European football.
Paqueta's arrival will be a boost for Marseille's attack, which struggled last season due to injuries and lack of depth. With him and new signings like defender Benjamin Mendy and midfielder Florian Thauvin, Marseille have a strong squad capable of competing in Europe.
While there may be concerns about the financial stability of Marseille, the club has shown in the past that it can invest wisely and turn a profit. With Paqueta and the rest of the team in place, there's no doubt that Marseille will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming months.
