Sanctioned by the DNCG with a control of its payroll but also with a ban on recruiting for payment, Le Havre will have to sell this winter. A major player could be sacrificed.
Relegated to Ligue 1 at the end of 2024, Le Havre is facing a sporting crisis but also an economic crisis. Far from having an owner who spends wildly, the oldest club will have to find solutions to make up a deficit of 10 million euros.
Le Havre will have to sell this winter
This same deficit which must have forced the DNCG to impose sanctions on Ciel et Marine. Namely, a control of the payroll of Le Havre but also a ban on recruiting for payment this winter. This will force Mathieu Bodmer and his teams to find players on loan or free to strengthen themselves, while making good sales during the winter market.
Captain of the Normandy team, Arouna Sanganté is today the most bankable player in the squad (valued at 10 million euros on Transfermarkt). Already this summer, Le Havre leaders had to reject offers from the Premier League. Will it be the same this winter? Nothing is less certain. In addition to the scathing words of Mathieu Bodmer indicating that he wants to clean up the Le Havre squad, Arouna Sanganté is not completely sure of staying in Normandy.
“If the project is interesting for me”
During an interview with Onze Mondial, however, he recalled his attachment to his training club, while opening the door to a departure this winter.
“I am not closed to a departure, afterwards, my immediate objective is to complete the entire season with Le Havre. Then, we will see the horizons that will open up. If the project is interesting for me and the club benefits from it, but I am not going to leave for the sake of leaving, he said before continuing his momentum. Le Havre suits me, it's a club that has always helped me, a club for which I will always give everything. Even if we are all open to leaving in our discussions, that does not mean that I absolutely have to leave. If this season ends and I have to start a new one here, why not? »
