Alvaro Granados is not the only Spanish player on the move this summer.
Marseille has big ambitions for next season, and it seems that the French champions will bring not one but two Spaniards to the club at the end of the season.
News that Alberto Munarriz and Marc Larumbe, both 29 years old, will be leaving Barceloneta for Marseille is being reported, in a deal that would put Marseille among the favorites to reach the Champions League Final-4 for the 2024-25 season.
This move mirrors our previous coverage regarding Márton Vámos and Krisztián Manhercz’s transition to FTC-Telekom in Hungary, signifying Marseille's intent to bolster its ranks with elite, experienced talent.
Munarriz and Larumbe have a storied history of success with the Spanish national team, having secured victories at the World Championships in Budapest, the European Championships in Zagreb/Dubrovnik, and the World Cup in Los Angeles over the past two years.
Alberto Munarriz's illustrious career began at his hometown club, Navarra. In 2013, he made a significant move from Pamplona to Catalonia to join CNAB, marking the start of a journey that would bring him 26 national honors, including 9 national titles, 9 Spanish cups, and 8 super cups.
Marc Larumbe, eleven days younger than Munarriz, made his professional debut in 2011 for Catalunya. Three seasons later, he joined Mediterrani for a single season, before his transfer to Barceloneta in 2015, where he has remained until, it seems, this summer.
