In 2017, Vincent Labrune allegedly used his influence with Ligue 1 presidents to finalize certain transfers. Including that of Tanguy Ndombele from Amiens to OL.
For several months, Vincent Labrune is in the middle of a storm at the head of the LFP and yet holds the helm well. There have been various fiascos, notably regarding TV rights, and yet the president is still in office and was recently re-elected. But the latest affair released by L'Team will she have her skin in the weeks and months to come? It is still too early to say, but an investigation by our colleagues reveals that Labrune would have used his influence to get involved in transfers in 2017. Independent member of the board of directors of the LFP, he would have joined forces with Meïssa I'm goingplayer agent and president of Football Trading Company and allegedly facilitated the transfer of certain items. This was particularly the case for Tanguy Ndombele in 2017.
A million thanks to Ndombele?
Vincent Labrune would have convinced the president toAmiens to sign a mandate with the Ndiaye agency to boost the sale of Ndombele and collect more than the twelve million euros offered by Hoffenheim. All while taking care to include a percentage due to him on the transfer price. According to theTeamit was around 8% and Ndombele will finally leave Amiens for theOL against the sum of 20 million euros in total, or one million in Labrune's pockets. A double game prohibited because of his functions at the LFP and which are today in the viewfinder. Because Ndombele's transfer is far from being the only one and would certainly have had repercussions on the future appointment to the presidency of the LFP.
