The move follows a successful medical examination, and Maupay’s addition is anticipated to bolster Marseille’s attacking lineup for the 2024-25 campaign.

During his stint at Everton, the 28-year-old forward scored one goal and provided two assists in 32 appearances. His move to Marseille offers him a fresh opportunity to make an impact in Ligue 1, where he will aim to leverage his experience and skills to contribute significantly to Marseille’s success this season.
