Keyliane Abdallah has completed a loan move from Olympique de Marseille B to Gimnàstic de Tarragona, joining the Spanish club on a temporary deal running from 2026-02-02 to 2026-06-30. The 19-year-old right winger, who holds both French and Comorian nationality, will spend the remainder of the 25/26 campaign in Spain’s Primera Federación – Group II before returning to Marseille at the end of the loan.
The transfer is registered as a loan transfer, with Abdallah moving from Marseille’s National 3 setup to Gimnàstic’s third-tier Spanish environment. His current market value stands at €50k, reflecting his status as a developing prospect rather than a finished article. At the end of the agreed loan period on 2026-06-30, he is contractually due to go back to Olympique de Marseille B under a “returned from previous loan” arrangement, meaning he is not set to become a free agent at that point based on the information available.
For Gimnàstic, the deal brings in a tall, left-footed attacker capable of operating on the right flank, adding depth and a different profile to their forward options in Primera Federación – Gr. II. For Marseille B, it sends one of their more promising young wingers into a more competitive senior environment after his progression through the club’s youth ranks.
Abdallah was born in Kani-Kéli and stands at 1.85 m, a notable height for a wide player. He has come through a structured pathway: from La Tamponnaise to Olympique Marseille U17, then to Marseille’s U19 side, before stepping up to Marseille B. Those moves were all permanent internal promotions within the Marseille system, underlining the club’s long-term investment in his development before sanctioning this first spell abroad.
Up to this point in his career, Abdallah has been involved primarily in youth and reserve competitions in France, including the National 3 – Group H with Marseille B. The switch to Spain means he will now test himself in a different football culture and league structure, facing clubs with ambitions of climbing into the professional tiers of Spanish football. While his senior statistical record, including appearances, goals and assists, is not detailed in the provided data, his steadily rising market value earlier in 2025 before settling at €50k later in the year suggests he has been considered a player on an upward trajectory.
The move also subtly shifts his profile from being known mainly in French youth circles to entering a broader European shop window. Playing in Spain’s Primera Federación – Gr. II will expose Abdallah to different tactical demands, potentially accelerating his adaptation as a modern wide forward. For both France and Comoros, his dual-nationality status remains an interesting thread for the future, as any progress at club level could influence international prospects down the line.
If Abdallah makes the most of this loan spell, strong performances in Spain could not only enhance his value to Marseille B on his return after 2026-06-30 but also redefine his trajectory from reserve-team winger to a viable candidate for higher-tier football in France, Spain, or elsewhere in Europe.
