Despite his youth, he understood what he wanted out of life.
Gueye was born and raised in the Montreuil area, which is known for both good and terrible things. Because his father was stern with him and his siblings, they did not associate with evil people in the area. He was quite protective of them and would remind them that if they were going out, it had to be for school or football.
He was raised in this manner. According to Gueye, he was laser-focused and didn’t need anybody to tell him what he desired in life, which was simply football. He joined Blanc-Mesnil SF when he was seven years old. He received instruction up to the U-13 level. He joined Le Havre at the age of 12. In Saint-Etienne, he also took certain exams. He said that PSG was interested in him at the time, but he opted to move to Le Havre since it had very nice training facilities, outstanding players, and most of all, sports studies.
He is really close to his parents
Gueye said that he is extremely close to his parents. It was difficult for him to contemplate leaving home at such a young age, but he also realized that sacrifice was required to make his ambition a reality. Gueye recounted sobbing all night thinking about his parents when he went home for pre-training when he was 12 years old in an interview.
During the day, he went to school, and at night, he was constantly thinking about his parents. He even expressed his desire to return home to the director. He spoke on the phone with his father. His father told him that they are behind him and would always be there to push him and that he need not worry because the days will pass and he will succeed. But he kept weeping, claiming he couldn’t stop until he consoled himself and convinced himself that everything would be alright. He began training with Le Havre at the age of 15. He had a purpose in mind to return to the city, but when he does, he will return as a prosperous person, proving that he went for nothing.
Gueye’s decision to join Marseille “You must be insane to turn down this club’s offer.”
His boyhood desire of playing for Marseille was realized when he signed with the club in July 2020. During an interview, he claimed that when he was younger, he wanted to play for OM, a well-known club in France and throughout the globe.
“You’d have to be insane to resist OM’s call.” We know the fans, we know the Velodrome, there’s a lot to say about the club, he continued. Because of the continuing controversy over the 2020 signings, FIFA slapped a one-year transfer embargo on Marseille. Gueye signed a pre-contract with Watford in April when his contract with Le Havre terminated in July. He changed his mind, though, and agreed to a contract with Marseille.
Net Worth
His net worth is reported to be in the $2 million range as of December 2023.
