Lyon sign Mangala but not Benarhama, Ekitike and Vitinha leave, Stambouli return… Things to remember after the last day

Well, it’s over… The transfer window that started on January 1 ended on Thursday at 11pm in France. Overall a relatively quiet transfer window, like PSG, who found a way out Hugo Ekitike, was loaned to Frankfurt, but did not announce new signings on this last day of the winter transfer window. Ekitike is one of the notable departures of the day in Ligue 1, obviously from Marseille Vitinha, loaned to Genoa. News that should not disturb Parisian and Marseille supporters. FC Strasbourg fans are surely asking more questions after the transfer of the Belgian goalkeeper Matz salts at Nottingham Forest. Especially just being experienced Matthew Dreyer, a defector from Saint-Etienne (L2), reached this position. Amazing. Time to announce OM dropping the international tricolor Jonathan CloseHe didn’t move after all.

For the rest, Montpellier Maxim Esteve Head to Burnley like Rennais Lorenz AssignanNantes Fabian Santonz Hellas on loan to Verona, Monegasque Myron Boadu on loan to Twente and Strasbourg defender Garzino Nyamsi The locomotive goes to Moscow, while the Moroccan defender from Brest Acharaf Dari, lacking playing time, is loaned to Charleroi. A non-exhaustive list with numerous loans here and there.

After more than seven years, Stambouli returns to Ligue 1

In terms of arrivals, Ligue 1 clubs did not create any spark this Thursday. We will highlight the former Parisian’s return to France Benjamin Stambouli (33 years old), signed a contract until the end of the season at Reims. 23 years old, Serbian striker Andrzej Ilic Lily arrives from Norway as Jonathan David’s understudy. MHSC sent back two former Blueettes, the 24-year-old defender Modibo Saganan (Utrecht) and 25-year-old former Inter player Yann Karmoh (Torino). In Montpellier, we don’t have the tools, but the ideas. In Lyon, we have both: Les Gons thought they would have two new faces on the gong, the 25-year-old Belgian international Aurel Mangala (Nottingham Forest) and 28-year-old Algerian international Banerhama said (West Ham). Be the first to become the club’s most expensive player! One thing is certain: he signed. No other. Hammer didn’t send the required documents on time… Also note the arrival of the Brazilian hopeful Andrew Santos (23 years), loaned to Strasbourg by Chelsea.

Among the day’s failures, apart from Benerhama, let us highlight that Le Havre tried in vain to secure the services of the Chelsea player. Malang sir. On the Metz side, we thought for a while… Erling Haaland’s cousin, the Norwegian Jonathan Braut Bruns who plays in Louvain.

Zaragoza expects Cole, Lingard in Korea?

Abroad, nothing exceptional to report. The 22-year-old Spanish international Brian Zaragoza Has made a good commitment to Bayern Munich. He was supposed to arrive this summer but an injury to Kingsley Koeman changed the situation… The Italian international Andrea Bellotti 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, must soon commit to FC Seoul in South Korea. His age is 31 years. Biggest transfer of the day in terms of returns? Crystal Palace swallowed, according to various sources, more than a so-called €20 million Adam Wharton19-year-old English attacking midfielder who previously played for his hometown club, Blackburn.
