Amine Gouiri: Marseille and Algeria Forward Linked with Napoli Move

Amine Gouiri, the Algeria and France-qualified centre-forward currently at Marseille, is being linked with a move to Serie A side Napoli in the latest twist of the summer transfer market.

Napoli are monitoring the 26-year-old as they assess attacking options for the new season, with Gouiri’s situation at Marseille drawing attention despite his long-term deal running until 30 June 2029. The Ligue 1 club are understood to be aware of interest from Italy, with the player’s market value currently estimated at around €28 million, a figure that would make any deal a significant investment for the Serie A side.

Gouiri has established himself as a central figure in Marseille’s forward line, operating primarily through the middle. His age and experience at the top level in France make him a profile that fits Napoli’s search for a centre-forward capable of leading the line over several seasons.

Any negotiations are likely to be complex given the length of Gouiri’s contract and his importance to the Marseille squad. The French club are under no immediate pressure to sell, and the forward’s current deal gives them a strong position in any potential talks.

For now, Gouiri remains a Marseille player under contract for another three years, with Napoli’s interest yet to move beyond the rumour stage as both clubs shape their plans for the remainder of the window.
