One player under consideration is Goore. Reports from L’Équipe indicate that the club has gathered information on the Ivory Coast forward. However, interest remains preliminary, with no formal offer submitted as of now.
The Belgian side is relying on Goore, who extended his contract in April, keeping him tied to Gent until 2029.
Last season, Goore made 43 appearances and recorded five goals along with four assists, although only 19 of those were as a starter. This potential acquisition could lead to notable changes in Marseille’s offensive lineup, especially with the possible exits of Amine Gouiri and Igor Paixao. The former is being targeted by Serie A side Como, while the latter has been tracked by Leeds United in the Premier League.
