The Cameroon international may be the club’s first departure this summer with reports claiming that the defender could be joining Russian Premier League giants Anzhi
While talking to media, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 sporting director said that the club has to sell players before buying new ones and hinted that Cesar Azpilicueta and Stephane Mbia are most likely going to be sold this summer.
“Everyone has to sell before buying, one is under pressure to sell, in any case, the shareholder has laid the foundation and we must respect it, sell it before you can actually buy whether it’s Mbia or Azpilicueta.”
Initially, it was thought that Cesar Azpilicueta would be allowed to leave Stade Velodrome this summer with English Premier League side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 touted as the Spaniard’s most likely destination. However, it now appears that Stephane Mbia could be the first
departure for Les Phoceens this summer.
Last night, les Phoceens received an offer of 7 million euros for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cameroon-c2865 international from Turkish side Galatasaray. The star of the Indomitable Lions has been offer a lucrative contract by the Istanbul giants.
However, the reigning Turkish champions are unwilling to offer more for the player. while talking to media, a source close to the Turkish club claimed that Galatasaray had informal discussion with OM but the Ligue 1 club’s asking price is too high.
The champions of Turkey reportedly offered Marseille http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Albert-Riera-c4301 in the deal but it wasn’t enough to satisfy the Rhone club’s financial needs.
Today, interest from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 had indeed cooled down but there are still a lot of valid options for the Cameroon international. According to Le Parisien, Russian Premier League big spenders, Anzhi Makhachkala, on the advice of striker Samuel Eto’o, have decided
to try their luck on the versatile player.
However, Mbia is keen to play in the English Premier League. So far, no offer has arrived from the other side of the Channel which means that if the status quo does not change, Mbia might consider making a move to cold http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 where he will most certainly
be getting a lucrative contract – something not many clubs would be able to offer him.
