Como line up for Marseille fire sale with Amine Gouiri in their sights

Marseille is in a financial bind. The club needs to clear its debts quickly and, if it does not, it risks being relegated in the coming season. With players already heading for the exit, Amine Gouiri looks like one of the most likely to follow. The 26-year-old Algerian forward joined Marseille at the beginning of 2025 and has registered 21 goals and eight assists in 42 games over a season and a half. That form has not gone unnoticed, with reports saying Como is ready to hold talks over a move. Gouiri insists he is not paying attention to the noise. He says the dressing-room atmosphere is strong and working under Bruno Genesio is a familiar setup - this is his third time working with the coach. Still, he left enough room for doubt when he suggested that "the doors are open for everyone." "Right now I am here, focused on my preparation, and we will see what happens," he said. Marseille, for its part, is not ready to let one of its key forwards leave on the cheap and has indicated it will not consider offers below €35-40m. Gouiri's current salary is €4.55m per season.
