Olympique de Marseille eyes major player sales to bolster finances

Olympique de Marseille faces significant financial challenges after failing to secure a coveted spot in the lucrative Champions League.

The substantial revenue loss from missing Europe’s premier club competition dictates a transfer window focused on player departures. Indeed, this off-season could transform into a major clear-out for OM, who find themselves in a weak bargaining position and compelled to offload their most valuable players.

The most prominent departure on the horizon is undoubtedly Mason Greenwood. Although the English forward had expressed a desire to continue his journey in Ligue 1, he is reportedly nearing a move to AS Roma, with the Italian club making his acquisition a top priority to strengthen their attack.

Is Gouiri also set for an Olympique de Marseille exit?

Another key figure from the attacking line-up could soon be packing his bags. Amine Gouiri might also depart Olympique de Marseille this summer, with speculation mounting around his future.

Having joined the club a year and a half ago from Stade Rennais, the Algerian international has garnered significant appreciation from the new sporting director, Grégory Lorenzi, who values his technical prowess. However, even Lorenzi appears resigned to sanctioning the forward’s sale should a compelling offer materialize.
