The divorce is becoming clearer between OM and one of its players, sidelined since the start of the season by Roberto De Zerbi.
Medhi Benatia promised: OM will be active during the winter transfer window. Determined to return to the Champions League next season, the Marseillais are for the moment in the right place since they occupy third place in Ligue 1, three lengths behind Monaco and nine points behind PSG. But this place is quite unstable, due to some shortcomings, particularly in defense.
A sector of the game in which there should be change. Placarded by Roberto De Zerbi since this summer and in conflict with his leaders, Chancel Mbemba does not intend to stay in this frustrating situation any longer. Linked to the Marseille club until June 2025, the Congolese international defender (30 years old) hopes not to have to be free to leave Ciel et Blanc.
Chancel Mbemba and OM, divorce in sight
“I have a contract with Marseille. I hope (to leave) in January, whenever God wantshe confided to the microphone of Canal+ after the defeat of the DRC against Guinea (0-1), as part of the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations. But when God doesn’t decide… it’s humans. Humans are complicated, everyone looks out for their own interests. » This winter, his will be the same as that of OM.
The Marseille staff actually have every interest in selling the former rock of FC Porto in January rather than letting him go for free in July. An offer still needs to arrive on Pablo Longoria’s desk… “The most important thing is to do our job to satisfy everyone”added Chancel Mbemba who, whatever happens, will unfortunately leave through the back door.
