Marseille Show Interest in Olympiacos’ Argentine Midfielder

According to a report by media outlet TransferFeed, several French clubs, which includes Marseille, have approached the agent of Santiago Hezze with the aim of securing the services of the midfielder. The player also reportedly wants to continue playing in Europe, even if he leaves Olympiacos in the upcoming January transfer market.

Media outlets from Turkey and France had reported earlier that Marseille had shown quite a strong interest in acquiring the services of Hezze for the club. As said by news source “Red Champion”, “Marseille are reportedly willing to offer 15 million euros to acquire the 24-year-old footballer.” It is worth noting that the young midfielder’s current contract with the Red and Whites is set to expire on 30 June 2028.

TransferFeed had reported in earlier news that Marseille had been interested in bringing Hezze to France since the summer of 2025. The news said, “It is said that a performance by Santiago Ese at Marseille's stadium convinced the club that he has the qualities they are looking for to strengthen their midfield, which resulted in him becoming a higher-priority target.”

The report further said, “As January is approaching, the team from Marseille might soon make an official offer to Olympiacos.”

After graduating from the academy of Argentine club Huracán, Hezze made his debut for the first team of the club in 2019, and before leaving in 2023, played 75 official league fixtures for Los Albirrojos, scoring 5 goals in the process. In 2023, the midfielder made his first move to Europe after he signed for Olympiacos.

Since joining Olympiacos, Hezze has played 96 official league games; however, he has failed to score a goal in any of these games. The Argentine has been an integral part of the squads that won the 2023-24 UEFA Europa Conference League and the 2024-25 editions of both the Super League Greece and the Greek Football Cup. He also won the 2025 Greek Super Cup with the Red and Whites.

Marseille definitely looks to be a suitable next destination for Santiago Hezze, given that the player also wants to continue playing in the European football environment. The only hurdle that may come in the way of a successful deal is the asking price of Olympiacos for the transfer of the player; it is being reported that the Piraeus club are demanding €20 million for the transfer of the midfielder. Whether a deal is successfully signed is a question that will be answered in January. The saga promises to be an interesting one.
