Tidiam Gomis, young talent from SM Caen, is at the heart of attention in this winter transfer window. At 18, the promising winger, author of 2 goals and 2 assists in Ligue 2 this season, is attracting many suitors in Europe. While Olympique de Marseille and AS Saint-Étienne had positioned themselves on his file, RB Leipzig now seems in pole position to attract him to their ranks.
An inevitable departure for Caen
At the end of his contract at the end of the season, Gomis represents a financial opportunity for the Norman club which could sell its jewel as early as January. Considered one of the future greats of French football, the native of Meulan-en-Yvelines has already attracted prestigious clubs. While Marseille and Saint-Étienne had expressed interest, European giants, such as AC Milan and Aston Villa, have also entered the race, making competition fierce.
RB Leipzig in a position of strength
According to information from Florian Plettenberg, journalist for Sky Sports Germany, Leipzig is actively leading negotiations with SM Caen. Discussions would aim for an immediate transfer this winter, but if no agreement is reached, Gomis could leave free next summer. The German club, renowned for developing young talents, offers an attractive prospect for the winger, who would be the latest “frenchy” to join the Bulls after names like Nkunku or Simakan.
Supporter of En Avant de Guingamp, the best of the Breton clubs, I prefer to meet Yannis Salibur, Cristophe Kerbrat or Jeremy Sorbon rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos.
