It was yesterday that the winter transfer window closed after a month of activity. The last movements took place, when others finally collapsed in the last moments. It is these very specific cases that interest us here because some directly concern French clubs. We have already talked about it on our site, West Ham, for example, did something wrong. The English club is directly responsible for two failures: Pablo Fornals at Betis and especially Saïd Benrahma at OL. For the latter, everything was completed but the Hammers would have electronic problems making the two files de facto in decline.
The future will tell us if these two movements are definitively put aside or if the request launched to FIFA will make it possible to correct the situation, as John Textor asserts. Still on the Lyon side but in the direction of departures this time, Nicolás Tagliafico will have to make up his mind. Highly appreciated by his coaches, the Argentinian wanted to leave to aim higher. Although he was courted, by Betis in particular, the world champion remained at the dock. Still in Ligue 1, Le Havre found itself very upset by Chelsea’s behavior towards it and that of Malang Sarr.
The Premier League gave a tough time
As we revealed this morning, the Blues were slow to send the final documents to validate the defender’s arrival at the HAC, while various concessions had already been made. The former Nice resident returns to London. Clearly, the English were particularly annoying during this transfer window. For Jonathan Clauss, the situation is different. He never intended to leave. It was his management who pushed him towards the exit after suspecting him of not doing enough. No offer has arrived and the former Lensois is still there, to the great happiness of Gattuso. What if management was the big loser in this matter?
In the event of the French international’s departure, OM had advanced their pawns, particularly on Zeki Çelik. Without playing time at Roma, the Turk had the choice between OM and Galatsaray, who had submitted the same proposal for a loan with an option to buy. But La Louve wanted an obligation to purchase which no one accepted. The former Lille player will wait until next summer for a change of scenery, like a certain Pape Gueye, at the end of his contract next June in Marseille. The Marseille club multiplied the touches to get rid of them, in vain. Cadiz’s interest in the last days did not materialize.
Moise Kean has left… to come back better
PSG would have liked to recruit a central defender but did not succeed. However, there were names, like Diego Llorente. He will continue his journey at Roma. For his part, Keylor Navas has hardly been the subject of rumors. Only the half-open door of the Tigers in Mexico quickly closed. Also lacking playing time, Nordi Mukiele did not join Bayern Munich. Everything seemed to indicate that this movement would take place because many conditions were met. The defender did not join Bavaria, nor did Kieran Trippier, also courted in the event of failure with the Frenchman.
The Newcastle player is not unhappy either because he is an executive of his team. Quite the opposite of Maxwel Cornet, cited by Crystal Palace without going any further. Clément Lenglet is in the same situation, he who is loaned by Barça to Aston Villa but who plays little. His name, however, returned to Bayern, OL and even AC Milan. Moise Kean left Juventus but his medical examination at Atlético de Madrid went badly. He had to return to Italy against his will. Finally, Matthis Abline himself did not have the opportunity to leave Nantes, which retained him to prevent Stade Rennais from lending him to Montpellier, a direct competitor of the Canaries for retention.
