The former Manchester United youngster also held talks with West Ham.

Gomes, 24, had already confirmed he would leave Lille upon the expiration of his contract in May.

“After four unforgettable years at LOSC Lille, it’s time for me to say goodbye,” Gomes wrote on Instagram.

“This club has been more than just a team — it’s been a family, a home, and a place that has shaped me both on and off the pitch.

“Like any journey, there were ups and downs, highs and lows, but I’m truly grateful to my teammates and the fans for sticking with me throughout.

“I’m proud of what we achieved together and thankful for every moment.

“To the fans – thank you for your incredible support and for having faith in me. I will always be thankful. I always gave my all for the badge and for everyone.”

Gomes joined Lille from the Red Devils in August 2020 and went on to make over 130 appearances for the French side.

Last September, his senior England debut was given by former interim manager Lee Carsley when he was brought on during the second half of England’s 2-0 victory against Ireland.

Gomes then started in the next game against Finland, which also ended 2-0, and he received glowing praise for his performance in the midfield position.

Carsley heaped praise on the 24-year-old following the contest and insisted Gomes ‘fully deserves’ the plaudits that came his way.

“He loves football, he watches football, he’s interested in tactics, he knows all the players in any league,” Carsley said.

“If you ask him for any feedback, you need to be prepared that he’s going to give you some feedback on the session, or how we’re going to build up, or the positions.

“He’ll often say about some build-ups he’s done with other clubs, or what he’s played against, because he’s obviously playing in France, so he sees different things.

“He fully deserves it.”

Gomes also started in the 3-1 away win over Finland and even bagged himself an assist.

Although Gomes enjoyed a bright start to the 2024/25 season, he struggled for minutes in the second half of the campaign.

Gomes was sidelined for four games with a calf injury in December, but made just four appearances for a total of 122 minutes in 2025.

He joins a Marseille side that finished second in Ligue 1, their best finish in three years, and will compete in next season’s Champions League.
