Angel Gomes, a 24-year-old midfielder from England who has played for his country four times, is said to have agreed to join Olympique Marseille on a free transfer. This news came out on June 6, 2025, after his contract with Lille ended, where he played for four seasons. Marseille is in advanced discussions, and they have reached a verbal agreement for a three-year deal.
The official announcement of the transfer is expected soon, possibly over the weekend, as reported by Le Phocéen. They mentioned that Gomes prefers Marseille’s project under Roberto De Zerbi and their qualification for the Champions League.

Since joining Lille in 2020, Gomes has been a key player, making 134 appearances and scoring 10 goals along with 19 assists. In the 2024-2025 season, he was one of the top assist providers in Ligue 1 with 8 assists, alongside players like Ousmane Dembélé and Romain Del Castillo. He played over 3,000 minutes in all competitions and was praised for his passing skills and ability to keep the ball under pressure, according to the International Centre for Sports Studies.
Marseille believes Gomes is a great match for De Zerbi’s style, as his technical skills and experience in Ligue 1 fit well with the club’s goals. His recent international appearances under Lee Carsley, even though he hasn’t played under Thomas Tuchel yet, enhance his reputation as a talented midfielder.
