Olympique de Marseille submits official bid for Algerian winger Bachir Belloumi

Olympique de Marseille submits official bid for Algerian winger Bachir Belloumi

Olympique de Marseille (OM) has formally submitted an offer to Sporting Club Farense for Algerian winger Bachir Belloumi. Details of the bid emerged on Wednesday, highlighting OM’s keen interest in the talented 22-year-old.

According to Portuguese sports outlet O Bola na Rede, Marseille has tabled a proposal of €3 million, with an additional €1 million in potential bonuses.

This bid falls short of Belloumi’s €15 million release clause but underscores Marseille’s intent to secure his transfer expeditiously.

Despite the presence of formidable competition, including Benfica, OM has successfully caught Belloumi’s attention. The winger has had a notable season, netting seven goals in 35 appearances across all competitions.

Farense’s approval of the negotiations remains the next crucial step.

Belloumi’s journey in football began at GC Mascara and MC Oran, eventually leading him to impress with Farense’s U23 team.

His performances in the Liga Portugal have not only demonstrated his potential but also highlighted his legacy as the son of Algerian football icon Lakhdar Belloumi.

Marseille’s efforts to finalize the deal swiftly reflect their ambition and proactive approach in the transfer market.

Belloumi’s addition to the squad is seen as a priority for the club, which is eager to bolster its attacking options.

While Benfica remains a potential contender with the financial capability to outbid Marseille, OM’s early move may prove decisive.

Belloumi’s prospective transfer to Marseille would mark a significant step in his career, potentially offering him a platform to develop further and make a substantial impact in one of Europe’s top leagues.

As negotiations progress, all eyes will be on how Sporting Club Farense responds to OM’s bid and whether they will hold out for a closer match to the release clause or accept the initial offer with its bonus incentives.

The football community is watching closely as Marseille continues to push for Belloumi’s signature, demonstrating their determination to enhance their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
