OM tried their luck again to recover Tidiam Gomis from SM Caen, but Aston Villa will complete his signing in the coming days.
Promising player from SM Caen, Tidiam Gomis was followed by many clubs in recent weeks. The profile of the left winger had not only caught the eye of observers due to his notable debut in Ligue 2 at just 18 years old, but above all his contractual situation had made an impression since he is free to sign up for the club of his choice in June 2025. According to L’Equipe, OM did not let go of the player native to the Paris region, but arrived in 2023 at Malherbe, and who already has 25 professional matches. The interest, already concrete last summer, was renewed this winter, but Marseille, like Leipzig and AC Milan, will have to accept their defeat.
Gomis will sign for 5 years at Villa
According to Belgian tipster Sacha Tavolieri, Aston Villa and Caen are finalizing a deal to send Gomis to Birmingham. If the signing is expected in the coming hours, an agreement plans to leave the winger in Normandy until the end of the season. The transfer amount should not be huge for a free player in six months, but it allows Aston Villa to quickly secure the future arrival of the French U19 international, without being subject to the uncertainties of the free player market. The Belgian journalist claims that the amount of the transfer will soon be revealed and that the Caennais will commit to Unai Emery’s team for five years at the end of the current season.
