Faithful to its post-training recruitment policy, Strasbourg does not intend to change course this summer. After a disappointing 8th place in Ligue 1 last season, Racing wants to further strengthen itself by attracting new young talents with high potential. In this perspective, Alsatian leaders are carefully observing from Paris.
According to RMC SportStrasbourg is pushing hard to recruit Pierre Mounguengue, an 18-year-old striker playing for PSG. Brilliant in the Youth League this season (9 matches, 5 goals, 6 assists), the native of Évry also participated in the superb year achieved by the 2009/2009 Parisian generation on the national scene: a first title since 1991 in the Gambardella Cup, and a first place in the U19 Nationals (the Parisians will play a French championship final against Clermont on June 13).
Strasbourg has already made two offers
In recent weeks, Luis Enrique had also rewarded Mounguengue by offering him his first minutes of play in Ligue 1 against Lorient (2-2, May 2). Strasbourg would like to offer him more next season and have already made two proposals. Discussions continue between the different parties, but the player’s future remains unclear at the moment.
Because at the same time, Newcastle would also closely follow the file, like other clubs whose identities have not been revealed. For its part, Paris would obviously like to have him sign his first professional contract, and The Team recently revealed that the player was a little more open to this idea. The daily also revealed that Bayern Munich and Paris FC were on the case.
