The winter market may be lively in certain clubs. And not least. Things are likely to change particularly in Lyon, Marseille and Rennes.
As is often the case, it is more in the direction of departures that clubs are considering the winter transfer window which opens on Monday 1er January – ending on Wednesday January 31. If some imagine some reinforcements, the time is above all for downsizing – voluntary or forced – to reduce staff numbers that are sometimes far too numerous.
Despite the impact of the African Cup of Nations on the months of January and February, many Ligue 1 teams intend to offload even more this winter – if only to hypothetically reinvest. This will be the case in Lyon and Rennes, who absolutely must rectify their situation after a very disappointing first part of the season, but also in Marseille. For training clubs like Le Havre, the idea is also to offer playing time on loan to young talents.
