Luiz Felipe is set to join Olympique Marseille after securing a release from Al-Ittihad. The player, who has a history with Lazio, is expected to sign a contract with the French club lasting until June 2026. Despite receiving interest from Italian clubs Napoli and Juventus, he has chosen a move to Ligue 1. Luiz Felipe, whose tenure at Lazio spanned from 2016 to 2022 with 144 appearances and two goals, was previously linked to Napoli as they sought a dependable defender following injuries to key players. Juventus also considered him amid their defensive struggles, but neither Italian club managed to finalize a deal. Having played only one match this season and being marginalized at Al-Ittihad due to foreign player restrictions, Luiz Felipe is now prepared to embark on a new journey under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi at Marseille.
