Jean-Louis Gasset, who has recently taken on the role of coach at Montpellier, is reportedly interested in bringing Chancel Mbemba from Olympique de Marseille during the January transfer window. Mbemba finds himself in a challenging situation at Marseille, having been sidelined towards the exit over the summer and placed in the 'loft' while awaiting a resolution. Despite his eventual reintegration into the team, the current coach, Roberto De Zerbi, apparently does not see him fitting into his future plans. With his contract set to expire in June, Mbemba might perceive the interest from Montpellier in a positive light, particularly given his previous working relationship with Gasset.
