OM’s aggressive strategy for this summer transfer window is making waves. It seems that for Pablo Longoria and the management, any sale is good to finalize as long as there is added value at stake. No player is therefore safe from leaving, even if he has performed well so far. This is particularly the case for Chancel Mbemba.
The most reliable element of the Marseille defense since his arrival in 2022, from FC Porto, the Congolese international has suddenly become unwanted. Anything but a coincidence. With one year to go before the end of his contract, the Leopards captain, valued at 15 million euros by the site Transfermarktrepresents a great opportunity to replenish the coffers.
“You have to know when to stop and respect people”
A situation that the Kinshasa native would experience badly. RMC Sport indicates that his internal behavior would thus have become
“irritating” and that he would have refused offers
“deemed satisfactory”. Should we believe these rumors? For Pape Gueye, who left for Villarreal this summer, it is rather the attitude of the Marseille general staff that is condemnable in this case.
“Club leaders who put out false information in the press by tarnishing the image of a player they want to see leave (moreover, in the end, I think that people are not fooled, most of them know that everything is false). Especially since the players targeted are irreproachable and give their all on the field for their clubs…”he says on Instagram.
“What respect in return?asks the Senegalese midfielder, who is careful not to name names. At some point, you have to know when to stop, respect people and find another strategy. A word to the wise.” A speech that comes after another departure, that of Jonathan Clauss to Nice. A player that Medhi Benatia had publicly attacked.
