Musical chairs at the goalkeeper’s post
As indicated by RMC Sport, everything was complete to sign a contract until June 2029 as part of a transfer worth 15 million euros. This Friday, Will Still recorded the departure of his captain, with a fatalistic air. “I learned that Brice wanted to leave the club during the holidays, that he had received an offer. How do I experience it? It's obviously annoying, because he's the captain of the club, a very good goalkeeper. But, from the moment the choice is made, there is not much to discuss. Keeping a player who no longer wants to be there is not necessarily a good thing for a locker room, so it's not that complicated.”
At the same time, the northern club set about finding a replacement. Initially cited, Jean Butez will not make his return to the North, especially since his state of form raises questions. Number 2 in the hierarchy, Hervé Koffi has touches in France and Belgium.
