Porto defender Chancel Mbemba will leave the club because of age issues, he’s 6 years older than his registered age

Porto are set to release former Newcastle defender Chancel Mbemba after it emerged that he might be older than he presents himself.

The DR Congo international is out of contract at the end of the season and according to Corriere de Manha, the Portuguese club do not want to renew his deal.

The 2004 Champions League winners are reportedly unsure of Mbemba's age - on paper, he is listed as 27 years old but many believe him to be at least five years older than this!

In 2013, a report from CNN found that Mbemba has four registered birthdays, ranging from 1988 to 1994.

Mbemba has previously gone on record to say he was born in 1990, which would make him 32 years old in 2022.

But he also claims to have undergone bone tests to prove he was actually born in 1994. He told the Mirror: "A lot has been said about my birthdate and the different ages. I proved exactly what the truth is.

"People in Africa know, me and my family, friends and anyone who knows Chancel Mbemba knows I was born on August 8th, 1994. That is all that matters."
