OM should soon welcome a new striker. The Olympian club is in the process of reaching an agreement with Cédric Bakambu, free since the end of his contract with Beijing Guoan (China) on December 31. The Congolese international (30 years old), passed by Villarreal (2015-2018) and Sochaux (2010-2014), should commit for two and a half years in the days to come. Everything is almost tied up between the two parties. It remains to pass the medical examination and finalize some details.
Bakambu, who almost signed for Barcelona two years ago, spoke to Jorge Sampaoli and felt that the Marseille coach really wanted him: their exchange, in Spanish, went perfectly. It was a crucial element in the choice of the striker, who will play the play-offs for the World Cup with DR Congo in March. He was in contact with Sevilla FC and had touches with Lille.
