Olympique de Marseille is set to officially sign Sacha Lung, an 18-year-old defender from Racing Club de Strasbourg. According to Foot Mercato and Onze Mondial, the young defender will sign his first professional contract on the Canebière, becoming the first summer signing for the club. The operation is the result of several weeks of behind-the-scenes discussions by the Phocéen directors. The player has finally been convinced by the Marseille project, despite other European formations also following his situation. The defender is expected to sign a long-term contract, a signature that OM could announce in the coming hours. This arrival marks the start of the summer recruitment for the club. However, the club will need to register many other reinforcements in the coming weeks to strengthen and rejuvenate its squad for the upcoming season. The Phocéens want to return to the top places in Ligue 1 after a complicated 2025-2026 season.
