Zapping Foot National Coupe de France: Calais, Quevilly, El-Biar, … the greatest exploits of the competition
What if Denis Bouanga returned to France? The Gabonese striker, who has been playing in the United States since the summer of 2022, would indeed be very keen on the idea of returning to France. And for good reason: a Ligue 1 club would be very keen on the idea of repatriating the 30-year-old center forward. According to information from Foot Mercato this Thursday, January 9, Stade Rennais would have targeted the Los Angeles FC player to strengthen offensively this winter. The Breton club, which has just signed midfielder Seko Fofana and goalkeeper Brice Samba, would have no problem completing the operation from a financial point of view.
The Tigers repelled
Unlike January 2024, where interest from the Rouge et Noir for the former Stéphanois already existed. He himself had already mentioned a return to the elite of French football at that time. But the Ille-et-Vilaine team had not passed the second in this matter. Author of 69 goals and 31 assists in 106 matches in all competitions under the colors of Los Angeles FC, Denis Bouanga, who is having a blast across the Atlantic, remains under contract until 2027. Proof of his interest in a back in France, the former striker from Strasbourg, Lorient, Tours and even Nîmes recently rejected an offer from the Tigres de Monterrey (Mexico), André-Pierre’s club Gignac. Foot Mercato adds, however, that Italian clubs would also be in the running to secure the services of the Gabonese international (40 caps, 9 goals).
To summarize
What if Denis Bouanga returned to France? The Gabonese striker, who has been playing in the United States since the summer of 2022, would indeed be very keen on the idea of returning to France. And for good reason: a Ligue 1 club would be very keen on the idea of repatriating the 30-year-old center forward.
