Does Chancel Mbemba have any opportunities to leave OM this summer? Club president Pablo Longoria has responded to the Marseille centre-back.

Probably the best recruit of the summer of 2022, Chancel Mbemba will continue to bring his qualities to Olympique de Marseille, despite starting opportunities. This is the message sent by Pablo Longoria, Monday afternoon at a press conference.

“There were offers this summer, but in the end we agreed that he would stay at the club this season,” said the president of the Provençal club at the center Robert Louis-Dreyfus, quoted by The Phocaeanabout the solid and versatile 28-year-old central defender.

Who with Gigot in Athens?

But has Chancel Mbemba fully convinced the new coach Marcelino? Difficult to answer today. A hint, perhaps. The Spanish technician had not established him last Wednesday at the Stade Vélodrome (1-2) during the final preparation meeting.

Chancel Mbemba had replaced Leonardo Balerdi (46th). The Argentinian was associated in hinge with Samuel Gigot. Of the three centrals, only two should remain in the starting lineup against Panathinaikos.

Wednesday evening in Athens, OM will begin their European campaign with the third preliminary round of the Champions League.
