Marseille are weighing up a move for Angers SCO playmaker Himad Abdelli, with the Ligue 1 club monitoring the 26-year-old’s situation amid uncertainty over his long-term future.
The attacking midfielder, valued at €7.00m on Transfermarkt, has been linked with a switch from Angers to the Stade Vélodrome, according to the latest transfer listings. No fee or agreement has been disclosed and the probability of the move remains listed as “?”, underlining that discussions, if any, are still at a speculative stage.
Abdelli is currently on the books at Angers, where he wears the No 10 shirt, but his contract details and expiry date are not publicly confirmed in the data, raising the prospect that he could become a free agent if no extension is agreed. That possibility is thought to make him an even more attractive proposition for Marseille, who are looking to refresh their attacking options while staying mindful of budgets.
Born in Montivilliers on 17 November 1999, Abdelli holds both Algerian and French nationality and operates primarily as an attacking midfielder, favouring his right foot. He progressed through AC Le Havre’s youth ranks before stepping up to Le Havre AC’s senior side, and later moved to Angers in 2022. His market value has climbed steadily in recent seasons, rising from around €1.2m at the time of his Angers arrival to €7.00m as of December 2025.
The midfielder has experience in French football’s upper tiers, having featured for both Le Havre and Angers in domestic competition. That background, combined with his height of 1.85m and technical profile between the lines, fits the type of creative presence Marseille have often sought.
Should a move materialise, a transfer to Marseille would represent the biggest step of Abdelli’s career to date and could significantly enhance his profile in both France and Algeria.
