Five years after leaving Lyon and after several painful experiences abroad, Tanguy Ndombélé is preparing to make his return to Ligue 1. The 27-year-old midfielder will sign with a club qualified for the European Cup.
Tanguy Ndombélé seeks revenge
Free of any commitment after terminating his contract with Tottenham, who had recruited him for 62 million euros (excluding bonuses) in July 2019, where he was initially tied until June 2025, Tanguy Ndombélé had several options for his future. Finally, it is OGC Nice who will win the bet according to our colleagues at Foot MarketOn the Côte d’Azur, the former Amiens player will meet a certain Florian Maurice, who was behind his arrival in Lyon in 2017.
Promised a brilliant future at the time, Tanguy Ndombélé failed to confirm his status over time and at the highest level. In free fall for several seasonswith some rather worrying loans to Lyon, Naples and Galatasaray, the Longjumeau native has even appeared overweight in recent months, delivering a rather average 2023/2024 season. To try to get his career back on track, the midfielder has decided to take himself in hand with a cure in Merano according to FM.
All with the aim of arriving at his new club in the best possible frame of mind. And clearly, that’s how it is Frank Haise who will aim to give him a second chance in France. If his profile could perfectly adapt to the game plan of the former RC Lens coach, who notably worked wonders with a hard-hitting midfielder like Fofana Schoolthe reality of Tanguy Ndombélé’s physical form will be crucial if he is to hope to have his say under the orders of the demanding Gym technician.
