Angel Gomes snubs Manchester United and Arsenal to remain in France as England international joins Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille on three-year deal

<p>Marseille have announced they have reached an agreement in principle with Gomes on a three-year deal and he will shift his base to the Stade Velodrome after his contract with Lille expires on June 30.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 🤝<br><br>Olympique de Marseille announces that it has reached an agreement in principle with Angel Gomes regarding the arrival of the English international midfielder at the club. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 <a href="https://t.co/AxgVlGk4yR">pic.twitter.com/AxgVlGk4yR</a></p>— Olympique de Marseille 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 (@OM_English) <a href="https://twitter.com/OM_English/status/1932891755864867099?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 11, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Gomes, who began his career at United and was long seen as one of their most promising youth prospects, has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/blow-man-utd-arsenal-mason-greenwood-marseille-make-transfer-move-england-star-angel-gomes/blt2d3637a06eac0fa0" target="_blank">chosen not to return to Old Trafford </a>despite speculation suggesting the Red Devils were keen on re-signing him. Arsenal also kept tabs on the midfielder, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-arsenal-snubbed-angel-gomes-join-french-rival-premier-league-transfer-links/blta00b0d67c3809688" target="_blank">Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United</a> similarly exploring the possibility of bringing him back to the Premier League.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After four seasons at Lille, Gomes decided against renewing his deal. His most recent campaign was disrupted by injuries, limiting him to just 20 total appearances and only 10 starts in Ligue 1. Despite those setbacks, his overall contribution to the club remains notable, tallying 10 goals and 19 assists in 134 appearances since his arrival in 2020.</p>

<p>The move also reunites Gomes with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/angel-gomes-refuses-to-rule-out-future-return-to-man-utd-after-starring-for-lille/bltf4ce41697ed5e9e8" target="_blank">familiar face from his United days</a> - Mason Greenwood. Greenwood enjoyed a sensational campaign under De Zerbi and ended up finishing as the joint-top scorer in Ligue 1 alongside Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele with 21 goals.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Gomes earned his first four England caps under then-interim boss Lee Carsley last year. However, he is yet to fully establish himself in the national team setup and has not featured under current manager Thomas Tuchel. A successful spell at Marseille, especially with the club qualifying for next season’s UEFA Champions League, could put him back in contention for further call-ups in the build-up to the 2026 World Cup.</p>
