Johan Manzambi (20) plays on VM 2026 more and more in the spotlight! In Switzerland’s 2-0 Round of 16 win over Algeria, Freiburg’s talented attacking player set up Brel Embolo (29) for an important lead and thus played a major role in reaching the Round of 16. In addition to Embolo, Dan Ndoye (25) also scored for the Swiss. Freiburger’s strong performance should now also impact his market value.
According to Sky, Freiburg are now demanding around 70 million euros for Manzambi. Numerous top clubs in Europe are said to be interested in him. Earlier, the English media reported a transfer fee of 55 million euros. Accordingly, the Breisgauers increased the asking price by around €15 million due to the Swiss’s convincing performances at the World Championships.

Dream assist against Algeria
Manzambi once again showed his class in the match against Algeria. For the first goal, the 20-year-old broke into the penalty area after a pass from Ruben Vargas (27) from the left flank, allowing Aissa Mandi (34) to get technically well and make his way to the baseline. He brilliantly crossed goalkeeper Osama Benbot (31) into the six-yard box, where Brill Embolo could only reach out with his foot.

He was the fifth highest scoring striker at this World Championship. Manzambi previously scored twice in a 4-1 win over Bosnia and also had a goal and an assist in a 2-1 win over Canada.
Newcastle are considered the most promising player
Newcastle United are currently considered the most promising interested party. The English have already achieved high transfer revenues with the sale of Anthony Gordon (25) to Barcelona and, according to media reports, are also planning to sell Sandro Tonali (26) to Tottenham Hotspur for a three-digit million sum. This means the Magpies would have plenty of financial leeway to make a transfer of Munzambi’s size, despite financial fair play rules.
However, it remains to be seen whether Freiburg will indeed release their best talent this summer. The people of Breisgau see the Swiss national player as an important building block for the future.
