Brice Samba Eyes Loan Move Amid Lack of Game Time at Marseille
Still firmly behind Steve Mandanda in the pecking order, Brice Samba is reportedly seeking a loan move this winter in search of more regular playing time. According to L’Équipe, the Congolese-born goalkeeper, who has featured in just one Coupe de la Ligue match so far this season, is eager to prove himself at a club where he can gain valuable experience as a starter.
Samba, once seen as a promising future option for Olympique de Marseille, has found opportunities scarce with Mandanda’s continued dominance in goal. Despite his potential, the 20-year-old’s development risks stagnating on the bench.
Whether OM will approve a loan deal for Samba remains to be seen. With the January transfer window fast approaching, a decision from the club’s management is expected soon. A temporary departure could benefit both the player’s progression and Marseille’s long-term plans, especially if Samba returns with more experience under his belt.
