Overview
- Olympique de Marseille officially converted Mohamed Baradji’s trainee agreement into his first professional contract running until 2029.
- Baradji joined OM from Paris Saint-Germain last summer on a two-year stagiaire (trainee) deal before earning the pro contract.
- He played five of six UEFA Youth League matches, two Coupe Gambardella games and the U19 play-off quarter-final under coach Grégory Auger.
- Baradji spent most of the season with the reserves, appearing in 14 Championnat National 3 matches and other development fixtures while standing out at 1.88 m.
- He has recently trained with Bruno Genesio’s first-team group and the club’s string of youth pro signings suggests OM is prioritizing internal defensive depth over immediate external recruitment.
