OM Transfer Market: Nottingham Forest joins Betis and Lens for Antoine Valero

In the corridors of the Vélodrome stadium, rumours are intensifying around the young OM striker Antoine Valero, as the English club Nottingham Forest has just added his name to the list already occupied by Sevilla Betis and RC Lens.

Growing interest in the Marseille prodigy

Already followed by Sevilla Betis and RC Lens, the 18‑year‑old Antoine Valero now attracts the attention of an English club, according to Belo Foot 13. The newspaper reports that Nottingham Forest is closely monitoring the young striker’s performances, who notably scored a hat‑trick against Monaco in U19.

The English club thus joins Sevilla Betis and RC Lens, who had shown interest during the last summer transfer window. This new competition could complicate OM’s task, which wants to keep its talent.

Offers and contractual prospects

Sevilla Betis is said to have already sent an offer of €500,000 to Marseille at the end of August, according to L’Équipe. No amount has been announced for Nottingham Forest, and no formal offer is confirmed to date.

While Antoine Valero’s professional future at Marseille remains uncertain, OM’s executives will have to weigh the options to secure the young scorer’s future, whose U19 performances have attracted international attention.

In summary, OM’s transfer market is enriched by a new English suitor, adding an extra layer of complexity to the negotiations around Antoine Valero, already coveted by Sevilla Betis and RC Lens.
