The Franco-Congolese attacker is not a starter in Tudor’s scheme and that would be the key
A radical turn is about to happen in the career of the attacker Cedric Bakambu, and his destiny would be embodied in the Celtic RC. The player currently belongs to Olympic Marseille, but he does not feel entirely comfortable in Igor Tudor’s squad. In fact he is very interested in the offer that the celtic club for his possible signing.
The Galician painting is still in need of at least one more centre-forward, as the departure of Santi Mina was occupied by Gonzalo Patiencebut it is only in the attack with Iago Aspas. Eduardo Coudet has stated that he needs at least 3 troops in zone 9, and that third could be the Franco-Congolese.
Bakambu’s sacrifice to play for RC Celta
As most know, the Marseille club will play in the next edition of the Champions League together with PSG and Monaco on behalf of France. Basically the sacrifice is that the striker will not play the international championship to sign with Celtista, who will not have European participation this season.
Bakambu knows that it doesn’t matter if he stays with the French team if he won’t have minutes in the Champions League, even in Ligue 1. In the same way, he knows that at Celta he will have much more chances of being a starter and playing alongside Aspas, Perez, Cervi, Baeza, etc. The Argentine coach for his part only states that if the French attacker shows what he has been doing in his previous teams, he will have no problem winning the title.
Another reason why Bakambu leaned towards Celta’s offer
In addition to having many more minutes this season, the Franco-Congolese striker has chosen LaLiga Santander, since he has already played in it. Around 2015, the striker signed for Villarreal CF, from Bursaspor in Turkey. In the three seasons in which he was playing with the yellow jersey, he accumulated a total of 105 games and scored 48 goals.
For the 31-year-old attacker it is not a problem to sign with the Celtic club, as his numbers show that he is very good at Spanish competition. Likewise, he hopes that his performance under Coudet will be equal to or greater than what he demonstrated with Marcelino, Fran Escribá, and Javi Calleja in his seasons with the Yellow Submarine.
