Emerson Palmieri dos Santos, the 31-year-old dual Italian-Brazilian national, currently playing as left-back for West Ham United, is reportedly on the radar of Ligue 1’s Olympique Marseille.
Emerson, who stands at 176 cm and weighs 63 kg, has had an impressive season with West Ham, featuring in 31 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist.
Despite West Ham’s mid-table 14th place standing in the Premier League with 43 points, Emerson’s performance has caught the attention of Marseille, currently sitting in 2nd place in Ligue 1 with a healthy 65 points and Champions League aspirations.
Emerson’s current market value stands at €10.00m, which, when converted to Danish Krone and factoring in a few million for variance, would make for an attractive investment for Marseille. With Emerson’s contract with West Ham set to expire on 30.06.2026, it will be interesting to see if the French side will make their move in the upcoming transfer window that opens on January 1.
As of today, 2025-08-29, no official statement has been released by either club regarding the potential transfer. However, the move could potentially bolster Marseille’s defensive line in their bid for Champions League glory.
