According to exclusive information obtained by Africafoot, recent rumors in France have suggested interest from Olympique de Marseille in Moroccan international striker Ayoub El Kaabi. However, sources close to the player have firmly denied these reports, stating that El Kaabi has not been informed of any offer or contact from the French club.

This clarification comes as the Moroccan forward continues to draw attention in the transfer market, especially following Olympiakos's firm refusal to sell the player to Nantes. The French club's offer, estimated at around 5 million euros, was deemed insufficient, as exclusively reported by Africafoot.

The Greek club, confident and strengthened by El Kaabi's recent two-season contract extension, has no intention of parting with him unless they receive a proposal of at least 12 million euros.

Regarding the Marseille rumors, sources consulted by Africafoot indicate that Ayoub El Kaabi pays little attention to speculation about his future. They emphasize that he remains fully focused on his current performances and that, a few weeks ago, he and Olympiakos agreed to extend his contract while keeping the possibility of a departure open—but only if a serious and mutually beneficial offer emerges.
