Hervé Koffi: Marseille linked with move for Burkina Faso‑Ivory Coast goalkeeper from Lens

Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast goalkeeper Hervé Koffi, currently on the books at Angers SCO but linked on Transfermarkt with a switch from Lens to Marseille, is at the centre of fresh transfer speculation in Ligue 1.

Data from the German portal lists a rumoured move taking the 29-year-old from Lens to Marseille, with the probability of the deal still marked as “?” and key contractual details unclear. With no expiry date recorded on his current agreement and his status around Lens and Angers not definitively resolved, the prospect of Koffi entering the market as a free agent has not been ruled out.

Koffi is valued at €6.00m, a figure that makes him an attractive proposition for clubs looking for an experienced goalkeeper without committing to a major fee. Standing 1.86m tall and preferring his right foot, he has built a reputation as an agile shot‑stopper and commanding presence in his penalty area.

Born in Bobo‑Dioulasso on 16 October 1996, Koffi holds dual nationality with Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. His career path has taken him through French football, most recently with Angers, while Lens are listed as the club he could be departing in the current rumour.

Recent performances have kept him in the shop window; in his latest outing, a Ligue 1 fixture for Angers against an unnamed opponent earlier this month, he featured as a starter in a tight match, with the scoreline and individual statistics not detailed in the source data but sufficient to sustain interest in his profile.

With Marseille weighing up options in goal and Koffi’s future not clearly tied down by a recorded contract end date, any move – whether via transfer fee or as a potential free agent – could prove pivotal in shaping the next phase of his career and his standing within French football.
