Ayoub El Kaabi is being linked with a move from Olympiacos to Marseille, with the proposed transfer currently rated at a 28% likelihood, according to data from Transfermarkt.
The 32-year-old Morocco international centre-forward, valued at €5.00m, is attracting interest from the Ligue 1 side as they assess experienced attacking options. El Kaabi’s contractual situation at Olympiacos is unclear in the available data, raising the possibility that he could become a free agent and therefore a more attainable target for Marseille.
El Kaabi, who wears the number 9 shirt at Olympiacos, has seen his market value remain stable at around €5.00m through 2024 and into 2025, reflecting his status as a proven goalscorer. While recent match-by-match details are not listed in the dataset, his consistent presence at a high valuation suggests regular involvement and effectiveness in front of goal for the Greek Super League 1 club.
Born in Casablanca on 25 June 1993 and standing at 1.82m, the left-footed forward has built a notably varied career. Before joining Olympiacos from Al-Sadd in 2023, he played in Qatar, Türkiye with Hatayspor, China with Hebei FC, and in his homeland for Wydad Casablanca, Renaissance de Berkane and Racing Casablanca. That journey has given him experience across Asian, North African and European competitions, a profile that may appeal to Marseille as they seek a striker accustomed to adapting quickly to new leagues.
With Olympiacos operating in Greece’s top flight and Marseille pursuing their ambitions in France’s Ligue 1, any move would represent another step in El Kaabi’s well-travelled career. If the transfer were to materialise, it could offer the Moroccan forward a fresh stage in a major European league to reinforce his reputation as a reliable, mobile centre-forward in the latter phase of his career.
