Active on the transfer market, LOSC experienced a hiccup on an important issue this week.
After having recorded the departures of several historic executives at the end of their contract (José Fonte, Jonathan Bamba), Lille has every intention of strengthening itself to build a competitive workforce and switch to a new era. With this in mind, the northern club had set its sights on defensive midfielder Nabil Bentaleb. But the 28-year-old has yet to sign his contract.
Nabil Bentaleb passed the traditional medical examination prior to the signing of his lease. A step that is not yet settled, even if it took place at the end of last week. According to information from L’Equipe, a problem was revealed during these tests.
Létang takes the floor
“As we speak and taking medical secrecy into account, we are awaiting the results of the additional examinations, explained the president of LOSC Olivier Létang, at the Domaine de Luchin, this Thursday. There are things that have not yet been lifted. There is a mandatory process in France. These are elements related to the medical commission in L1. We await his response. It is possible that we will ask for additional elements when we have it, in particular the just temporary or definitive character. Until then, I can’t comment.” concluded the leader.
As a reminder, Nabil Bentaleb would arrive from Angers to strengthen the midfield of LOSC. The Algerian midfielder can rely on a nice CV with spells at Tottenham, Schalke 04 and Newcastle.
