Amine Gouiri attracts interest from Champions League-bound Como 1907

Amine Gouiri’s future at Olympique de Marseille could become clearer in the final days of the transfer window, with Como 1907 preparing to make an official approach for the Algeria international.

Como 1907, who have qualified for the next UEFA Champions League campaign, have identified the 26-year-old forward as a potential addition to their attack. The Italian club are now regarded as serious contenders for his signature and, according to L’Equipe, their directors are expected to send a formal offer to Marseille in the coming days.

Gouiri is understood to be receptive to the possibility of joining Como 1907. The project being developed by the Italian club has appealed to the striker, while his profile is believed to match the requirements of manager Cesc Fabregas and his coaching staff as they prepare for the new season.

The Algeria international has nevertheless continued to train and prepare normally with Olympique de Marseille. In a recent appearance on the “After Foot” programme on RMC Sport, Gouiri suggested that a move could still take place before the transfer window closes, while making clear that his work with the French club was continuing as usual.

The potential interest from Como 1907 therefore introduces uncertainty around a player who remains under a long-term contract at Marseille. Gouiri’s current deal with the Ligue 1 club runs until the summer of 2029.

He is valued at 28m euros and earns an annual salary of 4,550,000 euros in France. The source also gives that figure as 2,957,500,000 FCFA.

Como 1907’s interest comes as the club prepares to begin its Serie A campaign. Their opening league fixture will be against Udinese, with the match set to provide an early test as they embark on a new season while also building towards European football.

Betting odds listed for the fixture rate a Como 1907 victory at 4.00, with a draw priced at 3.20 and an Udinese win at 1.72. The odds are provided by 1xbet, which also advertises a downloadable betting application.

For now, Gouiri remains a Marseille player, but the expected approach from Como 1907 could force the situation to develop rapidly before the transfer deadline. The Italian side’s Champions League qualification and their interest in adding attacking options have made the move a significant possibility, while Marseille will have to consider any formal proposal for a forward contracted to the club for another three years.
