After Vitinha, a second attacker sold by OM

With Vitinha leaving for Genoa, OM validated this Wednesday the departure of a second attacker.

The Marseille winter transfer window will have been eventful. Jean Onana, Ulisses Garcia, Faris Moumbagna and Quentin Merlin have arrived; Renan Lodi is gone. And this Wednesday, on the eve of the closing of this transfer window, OM is parting ways with two offensive elements.

The exit of Vitinha – loaned to Genoa with an option to buy – was expected. That of François-Régis Mughe was hypothetical, here it is ratified.

A loan without options

According to L’Equipe, the Cameroonian international had the possibility of choosing his destination to strengthen himself and gain playing time as part of a six-month loan: he would have opted for Dunkirk.

Despite the interest of Saint-Etienne and the approach of Angers, the young 19-year-old winger opted for USLD, current 18e of Ligue 2 which has just sold Jean-Mattéo Bahoya to Frankfurt. A loan without purchase option for the one who remains linked to Marseille until June 2027 and who until then has 9 professional matches on the clock, for one goal scored.
