Braga, Mechelen and Servette in the fight for a Senegalese from Metz [Exclu]

FC Metz could lose a precious element of its emerging second part of the season, more precisely within the large community of Senegalese players.

FC Metz will perhaps see a member of the eight or so players leave Senegalese playing in the first team. At the end of his contract on June 30, central defender Aboubacar Lô, since he is the one in question, is on the shelves of several clubs in Europe.

Performing well during this emerging second half of the season, Lô has made 4 consecutive starts with the Grenats, including 3 in Ligue 2 and 1 in the Coupe de France. Franceon December 20, during the 3-0 defeat against Troyes, which meant elimination in the fifth round. But the 25-year-old is popular in Belgium, Switzerland and even Portugal.

Ongoing discussions for Lô

According to information fromAfrik-FootMechelen, Servette Genève and SC Braga are discussing for the native of Dakar. A popularity that was not relevant three or four seasons ago, when he was on loan at RFC Seraing in the Challenger Pro League (Belgian D2) then at SO Cholet in the National. Or even during the last two seasons at the club, where he totaled only 11 appearances in L2 for 208 minutes of playing time punctuated by a red card in 2023-2024.

Despite “qualities of speed, qualities of recovery”says his trainer Stéphane Le Mignan, the pure product of Génération Foot displayed “often a mental deficit which was hard at the beginning”. From now on, he is dubbed by the technician as “the most complete of the three central defenders in the squad”. A metamorphosis which does not at all displease the main person concerned. It remains to be seen what the position of Metz will be, which is the last opportunity to recover transfer compensation for Lô but who could lose a new starter.
