Amine Gouiri, it's easy to forget, is still a young player. At the age of 25 he already played for Olympique Lyonnais, OGC Nice, Stade Rennais and now Olympique de Marseille. It is up to the last that he experiences a revival.
By the time of his departure from Nice in the summer of 2022, he was no longer an indispensable part of the project in the Allianz Riviera and therefore became a brand weight in the deal in which Gaëtan Laborde was at Le Gym at Le Gym. After a strong start in Brittany, he also became without steam and eventually became a market chance in the January transfer window. It was Marseille, desperately looking for reinforcements after the departure of Elye Wahi, who made the move.
Since his € 19 million move to the Vélodrome, he has excited and scored seven goals in his first 11 games, including a hat trick in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Stade Brestois. However, his career could have taken a different process. As revealed by L'équipe, the Algeria International also had an offer of Real Madrid at his disposal at the time of Gouiri's Move to Nice in 2020. However, the attacker made the choice for playing time, which would be offered more at Nice, compared to the Bernabeu.
