Bournemouth Poised to Sign Former Man Utd Prospect
Angel Gomes, the former Manchester United prospect, is poised for a move this January. Currently with Olympique de Marseille, he has struggled for game time. The club has decided not to block his departure, as Gomes seeks regular play ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Bournemouth Makes Move for Angel Gomes
The Cherries, currently 15th in the Premier League, have made a strong approach to secure Gomes. His market value is estimated at £15.3 million (€18 million), according to Transfermarkt. Bournemouth is keen to bolster their attacking options after the departure of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City for £61 million (€72 million), not including bonuses.
Gomes’s Journey with Marseille
- Signed on a free transfer in summer 2025.
- Made 12 Ligue 1 starts and a total of 20 appearances in all competitions.
- Limited game time recently, with late appearances against Angers and Liverpool.
Despite being under contract until June 2028, Gomes faces stiff competition for playing time. The recent signing of Ethan Nwaneri from Arsenal further complicates his situation.
Potential Destinations
As Gomes looks for a fresh start, he has multiple options in three major leagues: Serie A, Bundesliga, and the Premier League. Of these, Bournemouth appears to be leading the race for his signature.
For Gomes, returning to the Premier League may provide him the opportunity to establish himself on home soil. After a challenging early career at Manchester United, he remains motivated to achieve success in English football.
