Hyllarion Goore to Olympique Marseille
Quiet since 8 August 2026. Last report: Sacha Tavolieri. Probability when it went quiet: 6%.
Marseille have made enquiries about Hyllarion Goore, the 20 year old Ivorian forward at Gent, according to reporting out this week. He sits on a wider list of attacking targets the French club are working through rather than a firm priority signing, and Marseille are said to be aware of the conditions attached to any deal. Nothing here suggests talks, a bid, or contact with Gent beyond background checks. The story comes from Sacha Tavolieri, a reporter with strong credibility on Belgian and French football matters, rated 79 out of 100 for reliability in this file. It is a single source so far, with no corroboration from other outlets. That does not mean it is wrong, but it does mean the claim should be treated as one well sourced line rather than a confirmed process. This one sits as a long shot for now. Goore is on a wider list rather than a shortlist, Marseille have plenty of attacking options to weigh up, and nothing points to a bid being close. For this to move, Marseille would need to narrow their list, agree the fee range being discussed, and open direct dialogue with Gent, none of which has happened yet. Gent have sold at this level before. Their move of a player to Stade Reims for €4m in 2026 shows the club is comfortable doing business in the €4m to €5m range being floated for Goore, so the fee itself would not be unusual for them. Watch for any sign Marseille trim their list of attacking targets, or for direct contact between the two clubs. Until then this stays background interest rather than an active deal.
