Djiku, possible replacement for Mbemba at OM?
Olympique de Marseille is exploring multiple options for the summer transfer window. According to Turkish media outlet NTV, the club from Marseille is interested in Alexander Djiku, a solid central defender from Fenerbahçe. At 32, the Ghanaian is having a full season with 35 appearances across all competitions.
His profile checks several boxes: experience, tactical discipline, and leadership. These are valuable qualities for a Marseille defense in reconstruction. This interest could also be explained by the delicate situation of Chancel Mbemba. The captain of the DR Congo, sidelined from the professional squad since the start of the season, is at odds with the staff. His future at OM seems blocked, and Alexander Djiku could present a credible replacement option.
But Marseille is not alone. Stade Rennais, where Alexander Djiku once played, is keeping an eye on their former player. It remains to be seen if Fenerbahçe will agree to let him go. The case is open.
