Belloumi pushes OM to target Premier League talent

As part of OM’s transfer window, the father of Bachir Belloumi, Lakhdar Belloumi, publicly stated that his son, shining in the Premier League with Hull City, should consider Marseille as his next destination. This suggestion comes as the Phocaean club is going through sporting and financial difficulties, but it remains a benchmark that makes players abroad dream.

Belloumi’s Performance in the Premier League

Bachir Belloumi, twenty‑four years old, established himself from the start of the season with Hull City’s Tigers. His winger profile, his drive and his ability to be decisive make him a key component of the English setup.

The Father’s Wish and the Reality of the Transfer Market

Lakhdar Belloumi said his son deserves to play for a team that fights for national and continental titles, citing Barça, Real Madrid, PSG, OM or Manchester City. In doing so, he placed OM alongside those giants, which flatters the Marseille club.

Despite the current sporting and financial difficulties of the Phocaean club, OM continues to attract attention abroad and remains associated with players competing in the major European leagues.

In the current economic context, OM’s executives do not have the same financial resources as Manchester City, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona or PSG. This reality makes the father’s wish more symbolic than a concrete transfer market prospect.

Thus, it is primarily a desire expressed by Belloumi’s father, without any official offer or agreement being mentioned at this stage. No official transfer project has been announced by the club or the player.

The Massilia Zone tweet of September 21, 2026 reproduces the father’s quote, reminding that the wish remains an ambition rather than a concrete step in OM’s transfer market.
