At Standard too, things are moving. In recent days, there has been a lot of talk about Ibrahim Karamoko. Het Nieuwsblad newspaper reports that the transfer is almost finalized.
Karamoko is a 23-year-old central defender, playing for FC Versailles, a French third division club. It will be the first winter transfer for Ivan Leko and his colleagues. The club also formalized the departure of Hakim Sahabo, who is leaving on loan to Beerschot.
Leko had already spoken about Standard’s reduced workforce. If the Rouches want to play an important role this season, it will be necessary to recruit reinforcements this winter. With Karamoko, Standard takes direct action. As we know, the club is going through financial difficulties.
Cheap
The transfer of Karamoko should not cost very much. We are talking about an amount less than 200,000 euros for the defender. He will sign a contract until 2028 and it is expected that his transfer will be formalized quickly. The talented Sahabo, for his part, leaves Rouches.
Sahabo leaves for Beerschot, the bottom club. The Antwerp club is in dire need of reinforcements, and Sahabo, who has completely disappeared from the radar this season at Sclessin, is going on loan to Ratten in Kiel. Beerschot did not negotiate a call option.
