Swiss-Congolese Johan Manzambi to stay at Freiburg despite Napoli interest, says agent

Johan Manzambi’s agent insists the SC Freiburg midfielder will not be forced into a January move, prioritising continuity over a transfer.

Born in Geneva, Switzerland, to Angolan and Congolese parents, Manzambi has attracted attention from Napoli ahead of the winter transfer window.

Despite the interest, his agent Ismael Miller confirmed that the 20-year-old’s focus remains on finishing the season strongly in the Bundesliga.

“Manzambi’s priority is to continue the season with Freiburg, where he’s doing very well. He wants to keep up the pace in the Bundesliga, then he’ll play in the World Cup with Switzerland if they qualify, and then we’ll see,” Miller told Stile TV.

Miller acknowledged that interest from other clubs is ongoing, but emphasised the midfielder’s desire for stability.

“So, before changing teams, we’ll think about it carefully. Of course, my phone is always ringing, I get interest, but the boy wants to stay calm, finish the season at Freiburg, play for Switzerland, and then we’ll see.

“Plan A remains continuity with Freiburg in the Bundesliga, but we all know football; if a significant offer comes in, I’m the first to evaluate it.

“We’re grateful to Freiburg, but if an offer were to arrive that would allow the boy to develop, we would consider it, obviously also discussing it with the club.”
