The summer transfer window is always an exciting time for football fans, and this year is no exception. The Marseille squad has already made some significant signings ahead of the new season, with the core of their team set to be bolstered by talented newcomers.

One player who has been heavily linked with a move to Marseille in recent weeks is Brazilian forward Neymar Jr., who is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract. The 29-year-old has had a fantastic career so far, winning numerous individual awards and helping PSG win two Ligue 1 titles.

However, despite his talent, Neymar's contract situation remains a major concern for both him and PSG. If he does decide to join Marseille, it would likely be as part of a loan deal, with the option to buy if certain conditions are met.

Another key signing for Marseille in the summer transfer window is midfielder Florian Thauvin. The 26-year-old has played for several top clubs including Manchester United, AS Monaco and Bordeaux, and is known for his creativity on the pitch. He could provide cover for the likes of Florian Gueguen and Dimitri Payet, who have struggled with injuries in recent seasons.

Defensively, Marseille will also welcome the return of defender Lucas Digne from Barcelona. The 27-year-old has been a key player for the Catalan club over the past few years, but his departure to the Blaugrana was seen as a potential opportunity for a more experienced player like Digne to come into the team.

Overall, Marseille looks set to make some strong signings in the summer transfer window, with the core of their team looking set to be boosted by talented newcomers. It remains to be seen how these signings will impact the team's chances of success in the upcoming season, but there is certainly reason to be optimistic about what lies ahead.
