Utrecht had an agreement with Versailles, but they were waiting for Mbemba, who is Congolese, to obtain French nationality. However, Mbemba might now play in Belgium next season.

FC Utrecht is close to signing Freddy Mbemba from Versailles, a club playing in the third tier of French football. An agreement has been reached between the clubs, but some details still need to be finalized. If the deal is not completed, Mbemba will consider offers from other clubs. He has multiple offers and is under contract until mid-2026. The transfer would allow Mbemba to compete with players like Yoann Cathline at FC Utrecht. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market worth at 800k euros.
