Olympique de Marseille announced on Tuesday that midfielder Alexi Koum has signed a new contract extending his stay at the club until 2029.
The renewal is part of Marseille’s ongoing policy of investing in its young talent, a strategy the club has emphasized in recent seasons.
Koum, who progressed through the club’s academy, has already begun to feature in the first‑team squad. The new deal secures his services for the next several years, signalling the club’s confidence in his development.
By locking the youngster into a long‑term contract, Marseille aims to provide stability for the player while also protecting its investment in home‑grown talent.
Marseille, one of France’s most storied Ligue 1 clubs, continues to blend experienced professionals with promising youth as it competes domestically and in European competitions.
