While there are only four matches left at Stade Malherbe Caen in 2024, behind the scenes, We are already preparing for the winter transfer window. This very special period when teams go looking for players to improve their squad, or drop points for players who require playing time. At SM Caen, it is rather the first case which has priority. Nicolas Seube is aware that his team can be improved on several levels.

The needs of the transfer window have already been stipulated and communicated for some time. I reiterate that in certain positions, we must provide added value to the workforce. But everything has to come together for it to be feasible.

A special market to negotiate

By definition, the winter transfer window occurs in the middle of the season. Which means the teams know who are their strong men and their needs. The possibilities are therefore fewer while demand is strong. “The winter transfer windows are very complicated,” explains Nicolas Seube. Everything will depend on possibilities and means. »

Especially since SM Caen is currently sailing while the recruitment unit is still to be defined. During this period, the presence of Gérard Prêcheur as technical director brought an interlocutor for the Caen coach.

There is a lot of work going on in the recruitment unit. Gérard Prêcheur works there. I am in favor of observing players over the long term. Video remains an effective method, but it can be uncertain because it is rare that the player is not good on video. I need to have more reference points.

To support his remarks, the Norman technician mentioned the example of N’Golo Kanté. Before bringing him in, Leicester followed him to every game for an entire season.
