Zapping But! Football Club Top 10: the best active Ligue 1 passers
Girondins: Guilavogui to Saudi Arabia?
If he will not stay at the Girondins de Bordeaux following relegation to L2 (or even to N1), Josuha Guilavogui (31) will not continue with Wolfsburg (German D1) where he is still under contract for one year (2023). Indeed, according to Foot Mercato, the former Stéphanois has several rebound tracks including one in the Saudi club Al Shabab.
Girondins: Josh Maja has leads
Back from loan to Stoke City (17 games, 2 goals, 3 assists) and one year from the end of his contract (2023), Josh Maja will not return to the Girondins de Bordeaux squad in Ligue 2 this season. If he was present at the resumption Thursday at Haillan, the Nigerian international has tracks of rebound in England and Belgium. According to Allnigeriasoccer, the former Sunderland player is in the good papers with Cardiff City, Anderlecht and Royal Antwerp. Stoke City could also keep him.
LOSC doubled by ESTAC on Rui Fonte?
Announced close to a return to LOSC, Rui Fonte (32), José’s little brother, could well evolve in Ligue 1 but in another club. Currently free of any contract, the striker is in advanced discussions with ESTAC according to the Portuguese press.
RC Strasbourg: a targeted Eredivisie goleador!
In the event of a departure of Ludovic Ajorque or Habib Diallo, RC Strasbourg is looking to the Netherlands for a Scandinavian striker. Indeed, if we are to believe Voetbal International, the Alsatian club is cited in the same way as Besiktas and Bologna to recover the Norwegian striker from FC Groningen Jörgen Strand Larsen (22 years old). Under contract until 2024, the former AC Milan player comes out of a particularly successful exercise in the Eredivisie (14 goals in 32 games). Bologna would have drawn first on the file…
