It moves to RC Strasbourg! A few weeks before the resumption of Ligue 1, which will be done by a boiling derby against FC Metz, the Alsatian club works on the contours of its workforce.
Racing qualified for a European Cup, but he does not yet know which one he will compete. Seventh in the championship last season, the Liam Rosenior team is supposed to discover the conference league, via the barrage tour. But the setbacks of Olympique Lyonnais could change the situation, and it is quite possible that Strasbourg finally landed in the Europa League, more precisely in the 3rd preliminary round.
An XXL transfer for Strasbourg
Anyway, the adventure will be without Captain Habib Diarra. This Saturday, at 2:14 a.m. very precisely, Fabrizio Romano announced the departure of the Senegalese international midfielder.
The 21 -year -old will take the direction of Sunderland. An agreement was reached for a transfer of 35.5 million euros, including bonuses, which will become a record for Strasbourg. In the promoted English, Habib Diarra will notably have to replace Jobe Bellingham, sold for a little more 30 million euros in Borussia Dortmund.
With Habib Diarra, it is already the second major start that is looming for Strasbourg, with the end of the loan from Andrey Santos, left for Chelsea. Defender Mamadou Sarr was also sold to the Blues (14 million euros). We can also add the end of the loan of Valentin Barco (Brighton), who had played a precious role in the second half of the season.
