Arriving at Olympique de Marseille in January 2025, Amine Gouiri quickly found his footing in Ligue 1. With 10 goals and 3 assists in just 14 matches, the Algerian international asserts his role as a decisive player within the Marseille squad, strongly contrasting with the flop of Elye Wahi who preceded him at the club. This promising start to the season has attracted interest from major European clubs, including Bayern Munich.
According to Foot Mercato, Bayern Munich made an official offer to Marseille during the last days of the summer 2025 transfer window to acquire Gouiri’s services. However, the player refused the proposal, clearly showing his desire to remain at OM, especially because of the club’s return to the Champions League. This strong choice underlines his determination to establish himself long-term in Ligue 1 and to continue his development in an environment he knows well.
Facing Amine Gouiri’s refusal, Bayern Munich redirected their search elsewhere, ultimately opting to loan Nicolas Jackson, a forward from Chelsea, with a purchase option. Gouiri’s decision also demonstrates a deep respect for his current club and delights Marseille supporters who see in him a committed and ambitious player for the coming seasons.
Even if Bayern Munich might stay alert in future transfer windows, Gouiri currently prioritizes stability and continuity in his career. His attachment to Marseille and his notable performances in Ligue 1 confirm his status as a promising talent to closely follow in the years ahead.
