Stephane Mbia may leave club due to delays in salary

The adventure of Stephane Mbia, with the Turkish club Trabzonspor could turn short.

This is because of delays in payment of wages and bonuses, the Indomitable Lion captain could leave the club, which is facing an unprecedented financial crisis, this winter.

Stephane Mbia has claimed the sum of two million euros (about 1,000,300,000 Francs CFA) for an amicable separation with the Turkish club.

According to the Turkish media ‘Hurriyet', the Cameroonian international had requested an amicable separation with his leaders. An operation that is expected to cost two million euros to the club, about 1,000,300,000 CFA Francs.

After a meeting held this Thursday, December 31, 2015, the new president of Trabzonspor, Muharrem Usta, to calm things down, reportedly proposed to the representatives of the player, an advance of 850 000 euros (552, 500, 000 CFA).

Arrived in this team last summer from FC Seville in Spain, Stephane Mbia had signed a three-year contract for an annual salary of three million euros, 1, 950, 000, 000 million CFA.

But just months after the beginning of the adventure, the club has serious difficulty in meeting its commitments. Several other club executives, poorly supporting this disastrous situation, have already packed up since November.

This is the case of the Portuguese Jose Bosingwa, under contract until 2016, Kevin Constant, under contract until 2018 and the Algerian, Carl Medjani.

Besides Stephane Mbia, it is possible that Oscar Cardozo or Luis Pedro Cavanda, other club’s stars leave this team who had led a rather interesting transfer window in the offseason.

This uncomfortable financial situation adds to an unflattering match results. At truce, the club is ranked 9th with 24 points, 17 behind leaders Besiktas.

In case of a termination of his contract with Trabzonspor, it is possible that several clubs who coveted Stephane Mbia last summer in England, Italy, Spain and the Gulf countries, will return with their offer.

During negotiations around that time, the captain of the Indomitable Lions will have the advantage of being free of any contract.
