West Ham United have rejected Marseille’s first offer for Saïd Benrahma, but the French club is expected to return with a higher bid to sign the Algerian international. Benrahma is also being courted by Brentford, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Fulham in England.
Benrahma, 28, is a versatile midfielder who can play on the wing or as a central attacking midfielder. He is known for his dribbling skills, passing ability, and goalscoring prowess. In 21 appearances for West Ham this season, he has scored seven goals and provided three assists.
Marseille is looking to strengthen its squad in the winter transfer window in order to challenge for a top-four finish in Ligue 1. Saïd Benrahma would be a significant addition to the team, as he would provide a creative spark and goalscoring threat.
Marseille is not the only club interested in Benrahma. Brentford, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Fulham are also all said to be keen on the player. However, Marseille is believed to be the frontrunners for his signature.
It is unclear when Marseille will make its next offer for Benrahma. However, the club is expected to return with a higher bid in the coming days or weeks. If Marseille can convince West Ham to sell, it would be a major coup for the French club.
