Stéphane Mbia Attracting Strong Interest as Sevilla Exit Looms
Cameroon captain Stéphane Mbia is drawing attention from several top European clubs as he prepares to become a free agent at the end of the month. The experienced midfielder, who enjoyed a successful season with Sevilla FC capped by a second consecutive UEFA Europa League title, is expected to leave the Spanish side this summer.
According to mercato365, Turkish champions Galatasaray have joined the race for Mbia’s signature. With qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League secured, the Istanbul giants are actively targeting experienced free agents to bolster their squad — and Mbia fits the profile perfectly.
The 29-year-old has also been linked with Inter Milan and Trabzonspor, both reportedly monitoring his situation closely. His performances in Europe, combined with his leadership as captain of the Indomitable Lions, have made him one of the most attractive out-of-contract players on the market.
Mbia, who joined Sevilla on loan from QPR in 2013 before signing permanently, played a key role in the club’s back-to-back Europa League triumphs. His ability to play both as a defensive midfielder and a centre-back adds to his value, especially for clubs looking for versatility and experience on a budget.
With his contract expiring and multiple clubs interested, Mbia is expected to make a decision in the coming weeks. Whether he chooses the challenge of Champions League football in Turkey or a move elsewhere, one thing is certain: the Cameroonian is in high demand.
