To replace Hugo Ekitiké at the forefront of the attack, Stade de Reims is thinking of the Algerian international Islam Slimani!
Aged 34, the player passed by Monaco and Lyon in Ligue 1 in recent seasons, now belongs to Sporting Portugal, with whom he is under contract until June 2023.
According to our information, the Rémois would like the Portuguese club to terminate Slimani’s contract, in order to recover him for free.
However, there remains a major obstacle: the salary that the Algerian striker receives at Sporting. It is estimated at 3.2 million euros per year, which is beyond the reach of Stade de Reims.
But to facilitate his departure and participate in a new adventure, Slimani is ready to make big concessions. There has even been talk of a 50% drop! Which would put him within the reach of the Rémois. On condition of being free.
