Amine Gouiri could leave Marseille despite key role

Amine Gouiri’s place at Marseille is no longer secure despite being viewed as a key part of Bruno Genesio’s plans. The new coach values the Algeria international highly, but Olympique de Marseille are still prepared to consider his departure this summer.

OM have placed a €25 million valuation on the forward, creating a striking contrast between his importance to the squad and the club’s willingness to sell. Gouiri is expected to matter to Marseille during the 2026-27 season, yet that status has not made him untouchable in the transfer market.

Genesio’s confidence in Gouiri is based on several qualities. The striker brings top-level experience, understands the Marseille environment and offers technical ability. Those attributes are considered particularly valuable as the squad deals with a reduced group.

The change leaves Gouiri facing an uncertain future at a club where he remains central to the coach’s sporting vision. Marseille’s position means a suitable offer could still end his time with the team, even though Genesio regards him as one of the important attacking figures for the campaign ahead.
