OM targets the new Algerian Riyad Mahrez!

Olympique de Marseille is gearing up for a decisive winter transfer window, and one name is echoing insistently through the club’s corridors: Anis Hadj Moussa. The Algerian winger from Feyenoord, still relatively unknown to the wider public, has now become an absolute top priority within the club. With the approval of Medhi Benatia, the pursuit is gathering real momentum—the idea is to give Roberto De Zerbi a player who can bring penetration, creativity, and clinical edge down the flanks.

But the central question remains: will Feyenoord agree to part ways with a player under contract until 2030, right in the heart of the season? With a valuation of around €20 million, this deal looks complicated—especially since the winger is set to play in the Africa Cup of Nations this winter, which would complicate his immediate integration.

With 11 goals and 6 assists last season, Hadj Moussa perfectly fits the profile OM are seeking. His intentions, however, remain a closely guarded secret. One of the keys will be Medhi Benatia’s ability to convince him to join a Marseille project undergoing a full-scale offensive rebuild.
