Near‑€5 M€ Utrecht bid forces OM to choose Mmadi’s future

Olympique de Marseille (OM) faces a stark choice this summer: accept a bid just under 5 M€ from FC Utrecht for 19‑year‑old left‑winger Tadjidine Mmadi, or retain a promising academy product while interest from L’ESTAC Troyes mounts.

OM could still lighten its squad during the upcoming transfer window, according to the latest market analysis.

A first proposal has arrived for Tadjidine Mmadi, and the player is also being tracked by Troyes.

Après several departures since the market opened, the club sees a new dossier emerge.

Utrecht’s near‑5 M€ offer

Foot Mercato FC Utrecht, the sixth‑placed side in the Dutch championship, has transmitted a first offer slightly under 5 M€ for the left‑winger. The sum is described as substantial for a 19‑year‑old product of the Marseille academy.

Premières tensions at Olympique de Marseille as new faces arrive

Mmadi is not indifferent to the Dutch interest; the Eredivisie club promises a step up, while his place in the OM first‑team remains uncertain.

La direction marseillaise must now decide whether the offer is sufficient to let go of a promising element from its centre of formation.

Troyes, acting through the City Group, continues to monitor Mmadi, a rivalry that could push OM to raise the price, especially after earlier interest from Villarreal.

Le FC Utrecht’s bid arrives after Mmadi extended his contract in January until 2029, putting OM in a strong negotiating position as it weighs the financial gain against losing a home‑grown talent.
