Olympique de Marseille are not wasting any time. With the Champions League back on the calendar, the French giants are moving quickly to add quality and depth to their squad.
The club’s summer plans are already in motion, and one particular signing stands out not just for his talent, but also for the route he has taken to arrive here.
It is not often that a free agent ticks all the boxes: experience in European football, creativity in midfield, and the hunger to prove himself at the highest level.
But this deal may just be one of the smartest pieces of business in the early weeks of the transfer window.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the player arrived in Marseille earlier this week and has already begun his medical tests.
A three-year contract is ready and waiting. All that remains is the official announcement, but within the club, the feeling is clear: they believe they have secured a gem.
This midfielder once wore the red of Manchester United. He was seen as one of the brightest prospects in their academy before choosing to leave in 2020 in search of regular football.
That decision took him to France, where he quietly built his reputation in a different shade of red—this time, for Lille. Now, Angel Gomes is ready for a fresh challenge.
The 24-year-old Englishman has agreed to join Marseille on a free transfer, with the club viewing him as a key piece in their Champions League push.
His move comes at just the right moment, not only for him, but for a Marseille side that is hungry to compete on all fronts next season.
The city is buzzing, and so is the dressing room. Marseille may have just made one of the steals of the summer.
