French defender Julie Thibaud has left Leicester City to join Olympique de Marseille on a permanent deal following the Foxes' relegation.
AIFrench international defender Julie Thibaud has completed a permanent move to Olympique de Marseille after departing Leicester City, as reported by OneFootball.
The 28-year-old spent three seasons with the Foxes, racking up 72 appearances across all competitions before making the switch back to her homeland.
Thibaud's departure follows Leicester City's relegation to Barclays WSL2, a drop that has triggered a wave of exits from the club. The Foxes are now deep in rebuild mode ahead of their second-tier campaign.
Thibaud joins a Marseille side that finished ninth in the Arkema Première Ligue during the 2025/2026 season. For the defender, the move represents a chance to remain at the top level of the women's game while returning to familiar surroundings in France.
