Ayoub El Kaabi: the striker that everyone is after is arriving for free in Ligue 1

The case, open for several months in the offices of La Commanderie, is entering its final phase. According to information from SportsBoom, the Marseille management has validated the outlines of the arrival of the Moroccan international. The strategy is based on a favorable contractual schedule: the striker’s contract expires next summer, which gives him the legal freedom to commit to the club of his choice as early as next month.

Olympiacos finds itself trapped by its own management. The Greek club, which had refused to sell its player last summer in the hope of extending him, sees the negotiations definitively bogged down. The imminent departure of El Kaabi for the Africa Cup of Nations further complicates the position of Athens, leaving the field open for OM. Approaching his 33rd birthday, the highest-paid player in the Greek squad seems to have decided on a new challenge in Ligue 1.

The statistics of the season justify the Marseille insistence. El Kaabi dominates the Super League with 12 goals in 13 matches, a frantic pace that adds to his continental performances, as he finished top scorer in the Conference League and co-top scorer in the Europa League. From his debut at RAC de Casablanca to his explosion in Turkey, the striker has proven his consistency, offering Marseille the assurance of an immediately operational and free reinforcement.
