Pushed, in vain, towards the exit last summer, Chancel Mbemba is still an OM player. Shelved by his club before being recently reinstated, the central defender seems to have given up on a future at Canebière.
This time, the divorce seems finalized. On the sidelines of an international meeting with Congo, Chancel Mbemba spoke about his complicated situation in Marseille. In conflict with his club even though he made his (forced) return to training, the 30-year-old defender explained that he was holding on despite his white season.
“How do I manage to keep up? In life you have to work, that's the most important thing, he assures us on Canal + Afrique. All difficulties come from God himself, he has programmed that into your life The most important thing is to remain courteous, I have a contract with my club, everyone knows: I gave my all.

“I work, he continues. When the club thinks of me, glory to God. When the club doesn't think of me, life goes on. But we're not going to lower our heads, we're going to stay focused and continue to to work.” Pushed towards the exit last summer, Mbemba did not leave and remains under contract with OM (until June 2025) despite zero minutes of playing time since the start of the season.
Will he take advantage of the next transfer window to look elsewhere? “I have a contract with Marseille, he continues. I hope (to leave) in January, when God wants it. But when God does not decide… it's humans. Humans are complicated, everyone looks at their own interests . But the most important thing is to do our job to satisfy everyone.”
