Ayoub El Kaabi is being linked with a move from Olympiacos to Marseille, with the transfer currently rated at a 33% probability according to data compiled on 11 December 2025.
The 32-year-old centre-forward, valued at €5.00m, is the subject of growing speculation over a switch from the Greek Super League 1 to France’s Ligue 1. Transfermarkt data lists the Olympiacos striker, who wears the number 9 shirt, as an active rumour to join Marseille, though no agreement or contract details are indicated at this stage.
El Kaabi’s current deal length at Olympiacos is not specified in the data, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent in the near future, which may influence Marseille’s calculations over any potential move. His market value has risen at Olympiacos, climbing back to €5.00m in May 2024 and remaining at that level through subsequent updates, underlining his status as a significant attacking asset.
Born in Casablanca on 25 June 1993, the Moroccan international has built a varied career across several continents. After emerging in his homeland with Racing Casablanca and Renaissance de Berkane, he earned a move to Hebei FC in China in 2018, later returning to Morocco with Wydad Casablanca. Spells in Türkiye with Hatayspor and in Qatar with Al-Sadd SC followed before his switch to Olympiacos in August 2023.
Primarily a centre-forward and a left-footed attacker, El Kaabi’s profile could appeal to Marseille as they look to strengthen their forward options with a relatively low-risk, experienced signing whose value is clearly defined. With his transfer history showing adaptability to different leagues and styles, a move to Ligue 1 would add another major European competition to his CV.
If the proposed transfer does materialise, it could offer El Kaabi one more high-profile stage to extend his career and enhance his reputation in one of Europe’s leading leagues.
