Chancel Mbemba Sues Marseille, Cites Suffering at Lille Presentation

Marseille declined to comment on claims of moral harassment plus transfer pressure.

Overview

  • L’Équipe and Foot Mercato report that Mbemba filed a complaint months ago accusing OM of moral harassment tied to his exclusion and pressure to accept a transfer with an imposed foreign intermediary.
  • During the dispute, the defender went a full year without playing, was suspended in September 2024, and saw a salary withholding later overturned by the Ligue’s legal mission after an altercation involving Ali Zarrak was reported.
  • Asked by reporters, OM neither confirmed nor denied the allegations and stated it would not comment.
  • Now a free-agent signing at Lille, Mbemba told his unveiling he had suffered and referred legal questions to his lawyer.
  • LOSC president Olivier Létang said he attempted to recruit Mbemba a year earlier but OM refused, with the player finally joining this summer and logging 45 minutes against Toulouse last weekend.
