Beijing Guoan striker Bakambu said on Nov. 16 that he was forced to leave the team during his time in Marseille and was forced to play as a wing-back in training.
Bakambu, who currently plays for Olympiacos, made 21 appearances for Marseille last season, scoring four goals. rmc reporter says: "I wanted to stay but Suarez joined and we have a lot of strikers. Dion, Suarez, Milik and me. Therefore, in the forward positions, there is a need to reduce the personnel."
"Milik was going to Juventus and Dion was preparing for a transfer, but I didn't play too many games and when I came on I wasn't in a position I was familiar with. Then Sanchez joined and things got complicated again. Then I learned that Celta wanted to sign me and Marseille wanted a fortune, but I didn't want to leave."
"They put me under pressure and the club stopped playing me. Although I'm a striker, I can only play left-back or right-back in training, but I didn't complain. I didn't make the Champions League list, I was just a substitute, so I told myself I had to get out of here. I had two years left on my contract. I could have started in vacation mode, but I preferred to leave. I want to play in the Champions League."
