Sparsely used at Olympique de Marseille, Cameroonian forward Faris Moumbagna sees his future unfolding away from the Phocaean club that no longer counts on him this season.
Arriving at OM in January 2024 with a contract running until June 2028, the 24-year-old player struggles to establish himself after a long ACL injury that sidelined him for almost the entire last season. Despite limited exposure in Ligue 1 (8 appearances, 1 goal, 1 assist), his potential has caught the attention of several top French clubs.
In this delicate situation, Moumbagna has recently stood out with Marseille’s reserve team, notably scoring four goals in one half during a National 2 match, demonstrating his continued motivation despite being sidelined from the first team. This performance comes while coach Roberto De Zerbi favors other offensive options, making his reintegration into the main squad uncertain.
Several Ligue 1 clubs, including Toulouse, Lille, Rennes, and Brest, are closely monitoring his development. Toulouse appears particularly proactive, preparing a loan offer to allow Moumbagna to regain playing time and revive his career after recovery. Other European clubs, notably PAOK Salonika, are also watching, while Levante, initially interested, has dropped out of the race.
This pivotal period could represent a real opportunity for the Cameroonian to regain confidence and consistency. Highly valued for his professionalism and fighting mentality, Moumbagna remains a player of strong potential, capable of making his mark in the elite if given a supportive environment. His near future is therefore likely to be written away from Marseille, in a club that can offer him a role matching his qualities and ambitions.
