Dropped from Olympique de Marseille’s first team and relegated to the reserves, Cameroonian striker Faris Moumbagna faces an uncertain future in Ligue 1. However, several European clubs, including Toulouse, PAOK Salonika, and Levante, are keen on this young talent eager to revive his career after a long injury layoff.
At 23 years old and under contract with Olympique de Marseille until 2028, Faris Moumbagna is currently in a difficult phase. He was removed from the professional squad and now trains with the club’s National 3 reserve team, a clear sign of his diminished status within Marseille. Moreover, he was not included in the ongoing preseason training camp in the Netherlands, underscoring the club’s intention to move on from him for the upcoming season.
This situation follows a significant knee injury that hampered his integration and development at the highest level. Despite recently regaining fitness, Moumbagna struggles to reclaim his role in a competitive and reshuffled Marseille squad, where attacking spots are hotly contested.
In this context, several European clubs have shown interest in the Cameroonian striker, who primarily seeks regular playing time to prepare for the next Africa Cup of Nations with his national team. Among the clubs are Toulouse FC, considering a loan deal, as well as PAOK Salonika in Greece and Levante in Spain. These teams recognize Moumbagna’s potential to provide dynamism and goal-scoring threat.
Valued at approximately €5 million by transfer market experts, the former Bodø/Glimt forward remains open to a move this summer. His clear objective is to regain form on the pitch, prove his talent, establish himself in Europe, and be ready for key international tournaments with the Indomitable Lions.
In summary, Moumbagna’s future now lies away from Marseille, with hopes for a fresh start that will allow him to fully flourish and continue his upward trajectory.
