While the transfer window is in full swing, TP Mazembe is facing a real headache with two of its players.
This summer, TP Mazembe will perhaps see veterans of the club leave. Goalkeeper Baggio Siadi (26 years old, under contract until 2026) asked his management to release him. “I still have two years of contract left with Mazembe. Let the manager ask the president to release me. They can terminate my contracthe said in an interview on N’zela Masano TV. In the video that has gone viral, the Congolese international (11 capes, left on the sidelines during the last Leopards rally) denounces a lack of respect on the part of the Lush staff.
“I feel like they want to make me suffer”
“I feel like they want to make me suffer, and they already have.”he explained. The relationship between the player and his management has not been at its best for several months. At the end of March, the player had already made a splash. He had accused his employer of wanting to kill his career, while he was relegated to the bench in favor of Senegalese Alioune Badra Faty. The champion of RDC had in retaliation
provisionally suspended the principal concernedThis time, the Ravens may grant the request of the former Saint-Eloi player.
At the same time, they are doing everything to retain one of their best players, Phillippe Kinzumbi. While the transfer as a free agent of the 25-year-old winger to the
Raja Casablanca was relayed a few days ago by the Moroccan press, following the announcement of rejuvenated president Mohamed Boudrikaat TPM, they say they are not aware of it. According to the Black and White, the left-hander still has one year of contract to honor in Lubumbashi.
TP Mazembe warns Kinzumbi and Raja

He has a one-year contract with TP Mazembe. We are on vacation and we cannot prevent a player from going on vacation to a place of his choice. We saw on social networks that he is in Morocco but he is on vacation and he will return. If he spoke with the Raja leaders, it does not concern us. TP Mazembe is calm.”
A barely veiled blow of pressure to the striker, knowing the risks involved in the event of a free transfer while under contract. Indeed, the leader took the opportunity to recall the transfer of the same ilk of Ben Malango to the Casablanca city, sanctioned by a fine against the center forward and the champion of Morocco to the tune of 297,000 dollars (277 056.45 euros), following a complaint from TPM to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). “All our players are on holiday and will all return to Lubumbashi on July 13. If Kinzumbi does not return, he knows what he is facinghe warned. It wouldn’t be the first time that we have had a problem with a player’s transfer with Raja. I would like to remind you that we won the Ben Malango case at the CAS and Raja was ordered to pay us a lot of money.” Ambiance…
