Gaëtan Bussmann, the ex-Messin now from Nancy: “I know that this choice will not be unanimous”
A few days after officially signing up with AS Nancy-Lorraine, Gaëtan Bussmann, the former defender of FC Metz, spoke via his Instagram account. He explains, in particular, his choice. Not always very well perceived by the supporters of the two camps…
“I am off to a new challenge – and what a challenge – with AS Nancy-Lorrraine: to bring the club up to Ligue 2 at first, which will not be an easy task”, writes the native of Épinal ( 31 years). “I know that this choice will not be unanimous on one side or the other and that I will be criticized. I’am aware. I find a staff that I know, who had confidence in me and with whom I had my best seasons. And that, it’s not easy to find a staff that counts on you… ”
“The club believes in me for this objective”, continues the defender who also passed through Épinal, Mainz, Fribourg, Guingamp and Ezgebirge Aue. “From what I could see in my first sessions, we have a group to fight from the first to the last second. I hope that throughout the season, we will be able to demonstrate it to you. In any case, I will always give the best of myself, for my teammates, for the staff and for the people who come to the stadium even if I accept criticism. I always gave everything, no matter what jersey I had on my back. It’s always been in my mentality. »
“As we say in Germany: immerweiter und gemeinsam (always further and together)”, concludes Gaëtan Bussmann.

Diafra Sakho to ASNL?
After attracting Yeni Ngbakoto last season – the latter has since flown to Australia – then having offered the services of Mayoro N’Doye and Gaëtan Bussmann for the coming year, Albert Cartier will he succeed in convincing a new former FC Metz to join the Nancy neighbor?
Indeed, the former striker of the Grenats (2010-2014), Diafra Sakho, was seen on the side of Vittel, Tuesday, during the preparation match disputed (and won) by ASNL against Racing Besançon. . If he did not participate in this meeting, the native of Guédiawaye (32 years old) was present this Wednesday during the training of Nancy. He would thus be tested by his former trainer… Messin. To be continued.
As a reminder, the former Senegalese international (12 selections), passed by Génération Foot before joining Lorraine, wore the colors of Boulogne (loan in 2012), West Ham (2014-2018), Rennes (2018-2019), Bursaspor (2019), Neuchâtel Xamax (2020) and more recently AS Arta Solar 7 in Djibouti…

José Luis Palomino tested positive for nandrolone
His possible return to France seems compromised… On the shelves of Stade Rennais, the former Messin defender (2014-2016) José Luis Palomino has just been suspended after an anti-doping control carried out on the sidelines of the preparation stage (between the July 4 and 6) from Atalanta Bergamo with whom he is under contract until June 2023.
According to several Italian media, the Argentinian (32) would have tested positive for nandrolone, an anabolic steroid. Pending the follow-up to the investigation carried out by the Italian anti-doping agency, José Luis Palomino, recently named best player of the season by Atalanta Bergamo supporters, is therefore suspended. And its future, especially in Brittany, necessarily put on hold…
In Lorraine, after a stammering start, the native had quickly established himself within the hinge of FC Metz with whom he played 27 matches (4 goals) in all competitions. In 2016, he joined the Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad before being spotted by the leaders of Atalanta, whose colors he has worn since 2017.
