Despite his ouster from the professional group and his dismissal at the end of July, Chancel Mbemba remains under contract with OM until June 2025. Although an offer from Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia was considered at the end of the transfer window.
Chancel Mbemba, who arrived at OM in 2022 from FC Porto, has become persona non grata within the club. Although OM wanted to part ways with him this summer, like Samuel Gigot and Jordan Veretout, the 30-year-old Congolese defender is still in Marseille, where his contract runs until 2025. His situation has been marked by an altercation with Ali Zarrak at the end of July, which earned him a dismissal with salary deduction.
Relations between Mbemba and the club have since deteriorated, particularly after a failed transfer to Al-Shabab, which offered a two-year contract with attractive remuneration. However, the player wanted to leave free, which complicated the agreement with OM.
