Harit's return to Marseille

Amine Harit has returned to Olympique de Marseille after his loan spell at Istanbul Basaksehir, where the club did not buy him permanently. His return has marked a new chapter in his relationship with the French club, which previously seemed to have lost interest in him.

Marseille's weakened squad

During the summer transfer window, Marseille's squad has become both qualitatively and quantitatively weaker. Despite this, Harit has found renewed success, gaining a level of consistency that was unexpected for him.

Harit's new role and performance

Harit has been starting on the right side of the field, though he is not expected to replace Mason Greenwood. He has managed to stand out in a different register, showing improvement in his performances despite the team's overall struggles.

Genesio praises Harit's contributions

Marseille coach Bruno Genesio has expressed satisfaction with Harit's performances, noting that his initial inclusion in the team has now become a clear choice. Harit has been the most regular player in the squad, standing out during a difficult season for the team.

Harit's first goal and injury

Paradoxically, Harit scored his first goal of the season during what was considered his least successful performance. He headed in a winning cross from Emerson Palmieri in a 2-0 victory against Troyes. Genesio replaced him at the 63rd minute due to a muscle injury but saw the goal as a positive sign.

Leadership role for Harit

Harit has taken on a leadership role within the team, acknowledging that his experience has led to a new role as a team leader. He is helping younger players with his knowledge of the championship and the club, as the coach has emphasized the importance of his role this season.

Harit's position and future

Harit has made sacrifices, particularly related to his position on the field. He has accepted playing on the right side, even though it is not his preferred position. He is waiting to possibly return to the center if Angel Gomes continues to underperform, but for now, he is providing valuable service to Marseille.
