According to Matteo Moretto, this afternoon, the club have finalised a deal with RC France to sign the young defender, who has previously been compared to Lenny Yoro by French outlets.
What he brings
Starring for the French club’s Under-17 team, the defender has established himself as a ‘modern central defender’ something which is sure to have taken the Diavolo’s interest. Furthemore, the reviews from France are excellent, with some deeming as one of the best products in that wave of talent.
Reports have previously suggested that he will initially face an assessment for his starting point, but sitting with the Primavera for a little while is nothing to be ruled out. However, imaginably, he will feature for the Futuro eventually.
The project is expected to become more focused on younger talents after the relegation to Serie D, so it is entirely possible that he could skip the Primavera step entirely.
Wow! Our very own Leoni, and for a fraction of Leoni’s price. Who’d have thought? 😅
And French. That’s a key factor, don’t forget that.
Mocanda, you do this one o
In 2-3 years we will let him leave for free 😆
LOL. No, no, let’s get this right. He will leave for 1M to a club back in France or Belgium, then make a 40M move to a mid-table club in the PL, and then an 100M move to a top of the table PL club.
Yanis Messaoudi, Lenny Yoro, Ayyoub Bouaddi, why do all these young north African French players look like excessively hairy lesbians?
