After having played more than 100 official matches, club and selection combined, since his arrival at OM in 2022, Chancel Mbemba has completely disappeared from circulation, or almost, this season.
The only consolation is a captain's armband and unchanged status in the Democratic Republic of Congo national team. On the Marseille side, the central defender has been blacklisted since the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi. Therefore, a departure seems inevitable in January. And yet…
Mbemba, Saudi Arabia, or the wait?
This Friday, December 27, 2024, our colleagues from La Provence take stock of the Chancel Mbemba case. For them, the solid defender has made up his mind, and is waiting for an offer that meets his expectations before leaving.
Last summer, the former FC Porto seemed close to Saudi Arabia. A destination that could satisfy both OM and the player, financially speaking. FC Nantes was cited. Same thing at Stade Rennais. According to Africa Foot, the English Leicester are ready to join the dance.
But Ligue 1 clubs will not do anything crazy, while Pablo Longoria is demanding 3 million euros. Enough to make Mbemba stay in Marseille until the end of his contract, on June 30? This is a possibility that should not be overlooked.
Pure northerner, who prefers a good National match with USBCO to the rivalry between RC Lens and LOSC. Fan of big atmospheres above all, from ASSE to OM via Strasbourg. To arms!
