Club career

Born in Marseille, Giovani Versini began playing football at a young age with local club Burel FC, which is known for producing talents such as Maxime Lopez and Ilan Kebbal. [1] At the age of 12, he joined the youth academy of Olympique de Marseille, his boyhood club, where he progressed through the ranks and benefited from a structured training and educational environment. He featured for Marseille's reserve team in the Championnat National 2 during the 2021–22 season. [2]

In 2022, Versini signed a professional contract with Clermont, leaving Marseille where he had been on a trainee contract. He made his debut with Clermont's reserve side in the Championnat National 3 and was called up once to the senior squad for a Ligue 1 match against Rennes, though he did not make an appearance. [3] With limited first-team opportunities, he was loaned to FC Bourgoin-Jallieu in the Championnat National 2 to gain playing time. [4]

After returning to Clermont, Versini was sidelined and trained separately from the professional group during the summer of 2024. Seeking a fresh start, he was loaned to LB Châteauroux at the end of August 2024, competing in the Championnat National, the third tier of French football. [5]

At Châteauroux, Versini quickly established himself as a key player for manager Cris despite the club's difficult battle against relegation. His pace, technical ability, and dribbling skills made him a constant threat on the right wing. Over the course of the season, he scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists, which earned him the Revelation of the Season award in the Championnat National. [6]

With his contract at Clermont expiring in summer 2025, Versini attracted interest from several Ligue 2 clubs. On 23 June 2025, he signed a three-year contract with Pau FC, stepping up to the second tier of French football. [7]
