Mbami joined [[:en:CS_Sedan_Ardennes|Sedan]] during the summer of 2000. Despite his young age, Mbami played ten matches in his first season in [[:en:Ligue_1|Division 1]] and helped his club to finish fifth. He rapidly became a team regular and played 60 matches in the two following seasons. In 2003, the club was relegated to [[:en:Ligue_2|Ligue 2]] and Mbami decided to sign a five-year contract with [[:en:Paris_Saint-Germain_F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] for €5 million after his agent Willie McKay halted advanced discussions with Wolverhampton Wanderers. During his first season with Paris Saint-Germain, Mbami was associated with another young defensive midfielder, [[:en:Lorik_Cana|Lorik Cana]]. Despite their lack of experience, they played a big part in the club's good season, where Paris Saint-Germain finished second in Ligue 1 and won the [[:en:Coupe_de_France|Coupe de France]].

The 2005–06 season saw Mbami help Paris Saint-Germain to another Coupe de France title, while the club finished 9th in the league. In August 2006, after three years at Paris Saint-Germain, Mbami was transferred to arch-rivals [[:en:Olympique_de_Marseille|Marseille]], signing a three-year contract, and thus renewing his midfield partnership with Lorik Cana, who had signed for Marseille the season before.
