Steve Mandanda finished his adventure at Stade Rennais on a moving note. While he was confined to the sidelines since last winter and the arrival of Brice Samba, the tricolor world champion came out of the bench on the last day of Ligue 1.
Rennes was on the move on the lawn of the Vélodrome and its entry into play for the final minutes of the meeting earned him a burning welcome from the Marseille supporters. The standing-ovation of the Marseille people warned him the heart and this end in apotheosis could have encouraged him to stop there.
But at 40, retirement time has obviously not yet struck Steve Mandanda. The former Marseillais, at the end of the contract in Rennes, seems determined to make the pleasure last. To this end, a Ligue 1 club would have already positioned itself.
Steve Mandanda, priority of the Merlus
To believe The teamFC Lorient would have checked its name in the event of departure from Yvon Mvogo, also at the end of the contract. Steve Mandanda would even be the priority of Lorient decision -makers, in search of experienced players to avoid Morbihannais promoted to make the elevator.
The Merlus await at least six players and this number could still climb according to departures. Bamba Dieng and Isaak Touré, back from loan, should not stay and he should be the same with Jean-Victor Makengo, even Gideon Kalulu or Sambou Soumano.
