That's it, it's over... Started on January 1, the transfer window ended Thursday at 11 p.m. in France.
A relatively calm transfer window overall, like PSG, which found a way out for
Hugo Ekitike
, on loan to Frankfurt, but did not announce any new recruits on this last day of the winter transfer window .
Ekitike is one of the notable departures of the day in Ligue 1, with obviously that of Marseillais
Vitinha
, loaned to Genoa.
News which should not disturb Parisian and Marseille supporters.
FC Strasbourg fans are certainly asking more questions after the transfer of Belgian goalkeeper
Matz Sels
to Nottingham Forest.
It was not really planned and Racing did not recruit anyone in his place.
Amazing.
Once announced as leaving, OM's French international Jonathan Clauss ultimately did not move.
For the rest, the Montpellier
Maxime Estève
goes to Burnley, like the Rennais
Lorenz Assignon
, the Nantes player
Fabien Centonze
is loaned to Hellas Verona, the Monegasque Myron Boadu is loaned to Twente and the Strasbourg defender
Gerzino Nyamsi
goes to Lokomotiv Moscow, while that Brest's Moroccan defender
Achraf Dari
, lacking playing time, is loaned to Charleroi.
Non-exhaustive list, with numerous loans here and there.
More than seven years later, Stambouli returns to Ligue 1
In terms of arrivals, the Ligue 1 clubs did not make any sparks this Thursday.
We will highlight the return to France of former Parisian
Benjamin Stambouli
(33 years old), signatory of a contract until the end of the season in Reims.
Aged 23, Serbian striker
Andrej Ilic
arrives from Norway in Lille as Jonathan David's understudy.
The MHSC has repatriated two former Bleuets, 24-year-old defender
Modibo Sagnan
(Utrecht) and 25-year-old former Inter player
Yann Karamoh
(Torino).
In Montpellier, we don't have means, but ideas.
In Lyon, we have both: the Gones have offered themselves two new faces on the gong, the 25-year-old Belgian international
Orel Mangala
(Nottingham Forest) and the 28-year-old Algerian international
Saïd Benrahma
(West Ham).
The first could become the club's most expensive player!
Also note the arrival of Brazilian hopeful
Andrey Santos
(23), loaned to Strasbourg from Chelsea.
Abroad, nothing exceptional to report.
The 22-year-old Spanish international
Bryan Zaragoza
has joined Bayern Munich.
He was only supposed to arrive this summer but the injury to Kingsley Coman changed the situation… Italian international
Andrea Belotti
was loaned to Fiorentina.
The surprise of the day came from England, where we learned in the evening that English international
Jesse Lingard
, free since last summer, will soon join FC Seoul in South Korea.
He is 31 years old.
The biggest transfer of the day in terms of compensation?
Crystal Palace has spent, according to various sources, more than €20 million for
Adam Wharton
, a 19-year-old English attacking midfielder who previously played for his hometown club, Blackburn.
