The Marseille club has confirmed the return of its star midfielder, Patrick Vieira, on loan from Real Madrid until the end of the season. The move comes after the Frenchman had previously expressed his desire to leave Marseille.

Vieira, who joined Marseille in 2016, was a key player for the French champions last season, scoring 25 goals in all competitions and helping them reach the Champions League final.

He is expected to provide vital support to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who will miss out on the starting lineup due to injury. Vieira's return means that the team can now focus on winning titles this season.

"I am delighted to be back with Marseille," Vieira said in a statement released by the club. "I have been here for quite some time now and I am looking forward to playing for the club again."

Vieira's departure was a blow to the club, as he is one of their most important players. He has been a regular starter at the club since joining in 2016, and he will need to find a new home soon.

However, Vieira's absence should not overshadow the success of Marseille this season. They are currently sitting in second place in the league table and are well-positioned to challenge for a title. With Vieira's return, they have confidence that they can do so.

In addition to Vieira, Marseille also confirmed the signing of two other players on loan. They have signed defender Mathieu Valbuena and midfielder Adil Rami. Both players are expected to contribute to the team's attack.

The signings show that Marseille is determined to improve their performance this season and make a strong start to the campaign. With Vieira returning and the signings coming in, it looks like Marseille will have a very promising season ahead of them.
