The departure of Elye Wahi in Frankfurt is completed and OM is now looking to replace the French international. Against all expectations, the Marseille club launched on the track of the Rennes striker Amine Gouiri.
Roberto de Zerbi announced the color this Friday at a press conference, the departure of Elye Wahi will have to be offset during the winter transfer window. Ambitious tracks have been explored by the Marseille club. Gimenez, Rashford, Tel or Brobbey were mentioned in the viewfinder of OM but for various reasons, none of these players should settle down in Marseille. Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia do not want to do anything in the middle of January and could favor a six-month loan, before investing massively on an international class center for next summer. In this perspective, a totally unexpected idea makes its way in the minds of OM leaders, that leading to Amine Gouiri.
According to information from The teamthe track of the Algerian international, its contract with Rennes until June 2027, is concrete. And an exchange was mentioned between the two clubs since at the same time, Jorge Sampaoli very much appreciates Ismaël Koné, whose departure of OM this winter was made by Roberto de Zerbi this Friday at a press conference. Marseille therefore proposed two separate loans at the Rennes staff so that Gouiri Vienne en Provence and that at the same time, Koné left in Brittany. This offer has been refused by Stade Rennais, but the discussions will continue so that these two deals can succeed. We do not yet know in what form but the Amine Gouiri track is therefore to be taken very seriously on the side of Marseille. A real surprise when you know that the former Niçois is not a pure new number, unlike Elye Wahi, transferred to Frankfurt for 26 million euros.
