There is almost no doubt about the signing of Cameroonian striker Faris Moumbagna at Olympique de Marseille.
The departure of Renan Lodi to Al-Hilal, in Saudi Arabia, and the arrival of Ulisses Garcia from Young Boys Berne will not be the last winter changes within the OM squad. Present at a press conference on Friday afternoon, two days before a perilous round of 16 of the Coupe de France on the pitch at Stade Rennais, Gennaro Gattuso clearly suggested that a new attacker was going to arrive at the Canebière. And his identity is no longer a mystery since it is Faris Moumbagna.
If the Italian coach has not 100% confirmed this recruitment, the signing of the Cameroonian international (23 years old) is imminent, an agreement having been reached between Marseille and Bodo/Glimt for a transfer estimated at around 8 million ‘euros. “For Faris Moumbagna, I will tell you what I think, but at the moment, he is with the Cameroon team at the CAN. It has not yet been presented by the club, so out of respect, I think it is not up to me to talk about it now”declared the transalpine technician.
A Gennaro Gattuso who also denied that Vitinha was therefore pushed out. “He’s playing, and he can play again on Sunday. He must think about doing good, being professional, being ready to play, he said. Many teams have three power forwards. At the moment the management has not put it up for sale Vitinha. (…) Nobody told him that he had to leave the club. Today, Vitinha is a player from whom we expect a lot, I myself expect a lot. He is a player who has the ability to do much better. »
