The Bretons are thinking of filling the void left by the departure of Lesley Ugochukwu (19 years old, 26 appearances in the League last season). In any case, this was confirmed by coach Bruno Génésio during an interview with L’Equipe. “Yes, we sold Lesley, and he will have to be replaced”he said in particular in remarks reported by the French sports daily.
Bruno Genesio does not close the door
While the media evokes an interest from the recent fourth in L1 for Nemanja Matic (35 years old, AS Roma), the coach who worked for OL has not closed the door to a probable arrival of the Serbian international (48 caps , 2 goals). “There are several, then we can’t disclose everything we do, but digitally, we have to replace it”did he declare.
Under contract with the Louve club until June 2024, the Serbian giant (1.94m) joined the Italian capital in 2022, just one year after the return of Portuguese coach José Mourinho to the Boot. A cohabitation strengthened over the years, since the player, who had been repatriated to Chelsea by the Lusitanian tactician (he was on loan at Benfica) during his second spell on the London bench (2013-2015), joined the latter more later at Manchester United (2017-2018). Last season, he took part in 50 games (30 starts) and scored 2 goals. His value is estimated at €4m according to Transfermarkt.
