Simon Ngapandouetnbu, the 22-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper, is currently at the center of renewed interest in French football. Following a successful loan at Nîmes last season, he may leave Olympique Marseille again to further his development. Under contract with OM until June 2027, Ngapandouetnbu is poised to join Ligue 2, where he has already caught the attention of several clubs.
Ngapandouetnbu had an impressive season at Nîmes, achieving 11 clean sheets in 26 matches, despite the turmoil within the club. These performances have attracted the interest of Montpellier, which is seeking a potential replacement for Benjamin Lecomte. Discussions between OM and Montpellier are ongoing, reflecting the growing interest in the young Cameroonian goalkeeper. This transfer could be crucial for Ngapandouetnbu’s progression, given that his place at Marseille remains uncertain. Montpellier, recently relegated to Ligue 2, aims to bounce back quickly and sees Ngapandouetnbu as an asset for its promotion project. The goalkeeper has already proven his ability to shine under difficult conditions, which could be a significant advantage for the Hérault-based club.
