It’s official: Angel Gomes is set to become an Olympique Marseille player! The highly-anticipated transfer is now in its final stages, with the former Lille midfielder currently undergoing his medical tests in Marseille today.
Once completed, he will put pen to paper on a three-year contract with OM.
Gomes, 24, joins Marseille as a free agent after his contract with rival Ligue 1 club Lille expired.
His decision to move to the Stade Vélodrome comes despite significant interest from several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and West Ham.
His choice to join Marseille is a major coup for the club, especially as they prepare for a Champions League season.
Marseille secured a second-placed finish in Ligue 1 in the 2024/25 season, rubber-stamping their return to Europe’s elite competition.
Gomes’s arrival is seen as another important addition to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi’s squad ahead of this highly anticipated European campaign.
The talented English midfielder, who previously rose through the ranks at Manchester United, brings a wealth of experience from his time at Lille, where he impressed over four seasons and made 134 appearances.
His versatility and technical prowess will be valuable assets for OM as they look to compete both domestically and on the grand stage of the Champions League.
With the medical ongoing and the deal already completed on the player side, an official announcement from Olympique Marseille is expected very soon.
