The potential transfer of Bafetimbi Gomis to Olympique de Marseille in the summer transfer window seems to have encountered difficulties. While the recruitment of Saber Khlifa could be the last for Marseille, the move for Gomis may not materialize. Another potential destination, Newcastle, also appears to be a cooled-off option.
The reported reasons for the stalled transfer are related to the financial conditions proposed by Gomis, including a monthly wage of 300,000 euros and a transfer fee of 8 million euros. Marseille seems unwilling to commit to such financial terms, even considering their runner-up position in Ligue 1 and their participation in the Champions League. The failed transfer has reportedly angered Lyon, prompting them to file a complaint against Marseille.
