Via France Bleu – HERE, Julien Cordonnier, the general manager of FC Sochaux Montbéliard, spoke about the former player who passed through the Girondins de Bordeaux training center, Zakaria Fdaouch. While the latter had been training for several days with Sochaux, and was strongly expected to sign there, ultimately he allegedly showed “financial overbidding”, forcing the club to stop the negotiations.
“The player entered into a sort of questioning of the agreement given, looking for meanings, excuses, perhaps wanting to go into one-upmanship, which we, at club level, are very clear, there is an agreement that was given, an oral agreement, a word, and that under no circumstances will we go back on this agreement, to add euros to the discussion. So Fdaouch will not sign with us, because I believe that when you give your word, and you go back on it, it means that humanly, you do not correspond to the values that we want within the club, so he will sign elsewhere, and that’s it! “.
As a reminder, when he left France and Dijon last summer for abroad, after a very good season (10 goals, 8 assists), Zakaria Fdaouch saw his club, Deinze, in the Belgian second division, be declared bankrupt. Thus, the former Bordeaux player found himself free.
