L1 transfer window: 4-way battle for Sekou Mara!

As we revealed to you a few days ago, RC Lens and Strasbourg are eyeing Sekou Mara. The striker trained and revealed at the Girondins de Bordeaux would not say no to a return to Ligue 1, he who had performed in 2021-22 under the colors of the Girondins de Bordeaux by scoring 5 goals in the last 7 matches of the season. The rest at Southampton was more mixed despite 8 goals scored in England including 2 against Manchester City (in the Carabao Cup and the Premier League). With two weeks to go before the end of the transfer window, the former best player of the tournament Maurice Revello with the French team, who had a great month of January with 5 goals in 7 matches, is a prime target for many L1 clubs looking for a striker with high potential, who already knows Ligue 1, and who knows how to perform when called upon.

Lens is still there, as is Brest, who dream of getting him back on loan to approach the coming season more calmly. But the Saints are rather open to a transfer, in order to recover some cash, which as it stands would take him more towards Strasbourg. The Alsatian club, which was originally considering a loan, has made an offer of more than €10 million to the English club to recruit him. But if Racing is one step ahead, Nice has made a rather spectacular entrance into the file. Plagued by injuries galore in its attack (Jérémie Boga, Terem Moffi in attack), the Côte d’Azur team would view the recruitment of Sekou Mara favorably and is inclined to put a nice check on the table. The 22-year-old French striker is therefore coveted. All that remains for him to do is make the right sporting choice and come to an agreement with Southampton to find the best solution.
