Olympique de Marseille faces transfer hurdles amid financial strain

Olympique de Marseille is exploring options to strengthen its attack this summer, with Nigerian striker Akor Adams drawing interest. Sevilla has set a asking price of €20‑25 million, which the French club deems difficult given its fragile finances and pending UEFA and DNCG sanctions. Marseille is likely to focus on free agents, loan deals or players out of contract rather than high‑cost purchases.

At the same time, midfielder Himad Abdelli, who joined in January, has struggled to secure regular playing time. Reports suggest the club may consider off‑loading him to free up wages and generate funds for rebuilding. Lille OSC is reportedly monitoring Abdelli as a potential low‑cost addition ahead of their Champions League campaign.
