The identity of the mystery central defender expected at Olympique de Marseille has been revealed (see the brief at 8:09 a.m.): it is Chancel Mbemba (27 years old, 47 games and 2 goals in all competitions for the 2021-2022 season) ! The information was launched by Marseille supporter Titi, a very well-informed local celebrity known for posting a photo of all new Marseille recruits when they arrive in Marseille, sometimes 24 or 48 hours before they sign. It was confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. The Italian journalist specifies that the player, free since the end of his contract with FC Porto, is about to pass his medical examination before committing to Marseille for three years, that is to say until 2025.
The name of Mbemba had already circulated in the Marseille city at the beginning of June (see here). The Congolese international was one of the avenues studied by OM to strengthen the defensive sector. The Marseille leaders have since continued to work on this file to complete the arrival of an experienced element who has played 26 Champions League matches.
