Lille midfielder Angel Gomes is weighing his options as his contract nears its expiration at the end of June, with a host of clubs vying for his signature.
Gomes, who has Angolan heritage through his father, has attracted interest from several Premier League sides, including West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, keen to bring the former Manchester United prospect back to England.
However, according to L’Équipe, the 24-year-old is also drawing attention from within France, with Olympique Marseille emerging as a serious contender for his services.
The French giants have reportedly entered into formal negotiations with Gomes’ representatives, presenting a concrete contract proposal as they look to strengthen their midfield options.
Marseille’s interest in Gomes is seen as part of a broader strategy to inject youth and creativity into their squad, as they aim to compete for domestic and European honours next season.
Talks between the club and the player’s camp have been ongoing for several weeks, suggesting a keen desire to secure his signature ahead of the summer transfer window.
Gomes has been a regular feature for Lille this season, making 20 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
Despite his modest return, his versatility and technical ability have made him a valuable asset for the French side, and his potential departure would leave a significant gap in their midfield.
With his future still undecided, Gomes now faces a critical decision that could shape the next phase of his promising career, either by staying in Ligue 1 or making a high-profile return to the English top flight.
