Olympique Marseille have reignited their interest in Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah by submitting a new bid. This move comes after previous negotiations between the two clubs stalled due to differences in valuation.
According to Fabrice Hawkins, Marseille have returned to the negotiating table with an improved offer for the 25-year-old forward. The French club had initially turned their attention to other targets after their previous bids for Nketiah was rejected. However, with Arsenal lowering their asking price from €35 million to €25 million, a deal now seems more feasible.
Eddie Nketiah remains keen on the move to Marseille, as he is attracted by the club’s ambitious project and the prospect of regular playing time. The English striker, who has found himself down the pecking order at Arsenal, is eager to revive his career in Ligue 1 under the guidance of OM’s management.

While Marseille are happy to resume talks, they have made it clear that they will only proceed under their conditions. The club is determined to secure Nketiah’s services at a price that aligns with their budget and valuation of the player. This stance exemplifies OM’s strategic approach to the transfer market, ensuring they get value for their investments.
Arsenal are open to selling the striker but will hold firm on their reduced valuation, in order to secure the best possible deal for the club.
