Serge Aurier made headlines recently by emphatically stating he would never consider a move to Olympique de Marseille. “I’d rather go hungry than sign for OM,” declared the Ivorian international right-back, shutting down widespread rumors linking him to a potential transfer to the Marseille club for the 2025-26 season.
In a frank interview, Aurier confirmed he had been approached several times by the Marseille club but insisted he never considered joining their ranks. The former PSG and Villarreal player cited his personal history with Marseille and the deep-rooted rivalry between PSG and OM as significant factors in his decision. With this bold position, Aurier reaffirms his loyalty to his previous clubs and maintains his strong connection with their passionate fanbases.
Despite his outspoken rejection of Marseille, Serge Aurier’s career continues to attract interest from Europe and the Middle East. At 32, he is gearing up for new challenges while holding firm to his principles, proving that, for him, football is about passion, loyalty, and identity—values that surpass financial or purely sporting considerations.
