Mercato OM: Amine Gouiri’s first response emerges in summer talks

In the bustling Stade Vélodrome office, Olympique de Marseille’s sporting director reviewed Amine Gouiri’s comments, which had kept his future uncertain. The Algerian international, earmarked as a new offensive leader after several departures, said the door remained open for every player, while the club signalled it would not end talks if a buyer met the set price.

Gouiri poised as new offensive leader

In the Mercato narrative, Amine Gouiri’s statements had kept the situation ambiguous. He was called to become one of the new offensive leaders after a wave of important exits. The Algerian international also reminded everyone that the door seemed open for all players.

Les discussions would therefore remain alive, provided a suitor accepted the price set by Olympique de Marseille. OM made clear it would not close the dialogue entirely, but only if the financial terms were met.

Sevilla backs off over €30 million demand

D’après les informations de Foot Mercato, Séville FC investigated a possible move during July. The Andalusian club reportedly stepped back after learning that Marseille demanded roughly 30 million euros for the striker.

Les clubs observed that no concrete movement or official offer followed this first approach, leaving the transfer window open but quiet.

Mercato uncertainty surrounds Amine Gouiri at Marseille

Le prix réclamé reflects a dual strategy: it can enable a genuinely advantageous sale or discourage clubs hoping to exploit OM’s financial situation. Sevilla appears to have chosen the latter option.

Gouiri remains a key player for coach Bruno Genesio, holding a long‑term contract and retaining high sporting value. The price therefore also protects Genesio, who faces a heavily renewed dressing‑room.

Les market conditions allow OM to listen to offers, yet the club does not wish to undervalue a central recruit. Interest has also been linked to Côme, but no proposal has materialised so far.

Les negotiations stay open, as the Mercato may still generate new needs among several suitors. A departure for Gouiri will only become credible if a club accepts Marseille’s stipulated conditions.
