L’Olympique de Marseille annonce la signature de Faris Moumbagna en provenance du FK Bodø/Glimt. L'attaquant s’est engagé avec le club olympien jusqu'en juin 2028 après le succès de sa visite médicale.
Né à Yaoundé, au Cameroun, le 1er juillet 2000, et passé par les Etats-Unis au cours de sa formation, l'attaquant camerounais lance véritablement sa carrière professionnelle en Europe en 2020 au sein de l’élite norvégienne, au Kristiansund BK puis au Danemark, au Sønderjyske Fodbold.



Ses bonnes prestations et plus spécifiquement sa puissance et sa vitesse d’exécution attirent l’œil de nombreuses écuries scandinaves dont le club phare de Norvège de ces dernières années, le FK Bodø/Glimt, qu’il rejoint en janvier 2023. Avec la Horde Jaune, le buteur camerounais de 23 ans connaît une année très prospère puisqu'il inscrit 24 buts et délivre 9 passes décisives en 50 matchs à la pointe de l'attaque, jouant ainsi un rôle majeur dans la conquête du titre de champion.



Sa puissance et sa capacité à se procurer des occasions permettent également à Faris de s’illustrer sur la scène européenne avec 6 buts en Europa Conference League cette saison. Il contribue ainsi à la qualification de son club pour les 16e de finale et devient même international camerounais juste avant la CAN qu’il dispute actuellement avec les Lions Indomptables.



Bienvenue à l’OM, Faris !

Welcome to OM, Faris!

Marseille have officially confirmed the signing of Faris Moumbagna (23) from Bodø/Glimt via their official social media accounts. The Cameroonian striker has signed a 4 and a half year contract at the Stade Vélodrome lasting until 2028.

Moumbagna is currently participating in the African Cup of Nations for Cameroon, so will have to wait for the conclusion of his country’s participation at the tournament before he will be able to make his OM debut. The deal to sign the 23-year-old is set to cost Les Olympiens a fee in the region of €8m, according Fabrice Hawkins. In the Eliteserien last season, the Cameroon international forward scored 15 goals and assisted a further eight.

A threat to Vitinha’s future?
Following the signing of Moumbagna, Marseille have amassed an impressively large cohort of options in central attack: Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (34), Joaquín Correa (29), Faris Moumbagna and Vitinha (23).

The latter’s future could be under threat following the signing of the Bodø/Glimt striker, according to Foot Mercato. OM would even be willing to listen to offers in the region of €20m for the Portuguese striker, according to Fabrice Hawkins.
