Still under financial surveillance, the Girondins de Bordeaux are still on track to finish the season in N2. Enough to offer certain freedoms to the transfer window.
The year 2025 is starting with optimism in Bordeaux. The Girondins are gradually getting closer to the lead in the championship, having beaten Le Poiré sur Vie 2-0 on Saturday. Above all, they are relieved financially. Gérard Lopez has just contributed one million euros to be able to successfully pass the next meeting at the Bordeaux Commercial Court on Tuesday. The scapular club should avoid liquidation and calmly continue the season until its end. And why not with a reinforced team?
Bruno Irles does not rule out any recruitment
Second in its National group 2 to 5 points behind leader Saint-Malo, Bordeaux is far from having ensured the rise in National as it has hoped since the restart. Recruiting new players would not be a luxury when Andy Carroll was injured in the last match. Girondin coach Bruno Irles considers the club's financial situation good enough to act in the transfer window in any case. More than a dream, it is a necessity with the unexpected departure of the young 20-year-old talent Safouane Karim.
-« (Safouane) Karim is no longer there on a daily basis, he left for personal reasons. We need to see if it's officially terminated. Afterwards, we have a margin, compared to the DNCG, in court. Afterwards, it is not bringing to come for the sake of bringing, just as it is not bringing to leave for the sake of leaving », he told the press after the victory over Le Poiré sur Vie. In a N2 with lower financial requirements, this is a more than realistic wish for the Girondins de Bordeaux.
