Como 1907 are preparing an official offer for Amine Gouiri as the Italy club step up their interest in the Olympique de Marseille forward during the final days of the transfer window.
The club, who have qualified for the next Champions League, have identified the Algeria international as a target to strengthen their attack. Their interest has now become concrete, with Como’s directors expected to send a formal proposal to Olympique de Marseille in the coming days, according to L’Equipe.
The move could significantly alter Gouiri’s situation at the French club. The 26-year-old is understood to be attracted by Como 1907’s project and is regarded as a suitable option for manager Cesc Fabregas and his coaching staff as they prepare for the new season.
Gouiri is also paying close attention to the possibility of a move. Although he continues to work normally with Olympique de Marseille during pre-season, he recently suggested that a change of club could still take place before the transfer window closes.
He made those comments during an appearance on the “After Foot” programme on RMC Sport. The forward’s remarks indicated that his future had not been completely settled, despite his ongoing involvement in Marseille’s preparations.
Gouiri is valued at 28m euros and remains under contract with Olympique de Marseille until the summer of 2029. His annual salary in France is listed as 4,550,000 euros, equivalent to 2,957,500,000 FCFA.
Como 1907’s interest comes as the club prepares for the opening matchday of the Italian league. They are due to face Udinese, with the fixture set to provide an early test as they begin their campaign.
The betting prices quoted by 1xBet list Como 1907 at 4.00 to win, with a draw priced at 3.20 and an Udinese victory at 1.72. Those figures reflect the Italian side’s status as underdogs for the match, while also providing the immediate competitive context surrounding Como’s search for attacking reinforcements.
For the moment, Gouiri remains an Olympique de Marseille player, with his contract running for a further three seasons beyond the current campaign. However, the expected offer from Como 1907 could force a decision in the closing stages of the transfer window.
The Algerian international’s next move will therefore depend on the details of the Italian club’s proposal and Marseille’s response. Como 1907’s Champions League qualification and the sporting role envisaged by Fabregas have made the club a serious contender for Gouiri, whose future now appears increasingly uncertain.
