Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

RC Strasbourg bid $88.6M for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

The offer went to Everton this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

RC Strasbourg agree $22.5M for Mário Sauer

The clubs have shaken hands with Toulouse FC; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

RC Strasbourg bid $10.6M for Berke Özer

The offer went to LOSC Lille this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market12 Jul 2027

RC Strasbourg turn down Dinamo Minsk for Deivid Washington

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market12 Jul 2027

Odivan asks to leave RC Strasbourg

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market12 Jul 2027

Business is business: Fabio Baldé goes

US Creteil paid $1.8M and RC Strasbourg took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Sebastian Nanasi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Sebastian Nanasi and RC Strasbourg agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Tempers go at RC Strasbourg

Eduardo Quaresma was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Lucas Høgsberg falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Genesis Antwi keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” RC Strasbourg may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Words at RC Strasbourg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thierno Barry is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Conrad Harder beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Tempers go at RC Strasbourg

Idrissa Sabaly was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Sam Amo-Ameyaw

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad21 Dec 2026

5 new faces, and RC Strasbourg are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Diogo Sousa is still paying for one afternoon at RC Strasbourg

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Karim Coulibaly

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Nothing got past Ismaël Doukouré

14 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Player ratings14 Dec 2026

Conrad Harder, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.88

A mark of 7.88 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match12 Dec 2026

Olympique Lyonnais end the RC Strasbourg run at 11

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 11 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Match12 Dec 2026

Conrad Harder’s goal not enough for RC Strasbourg

Conrad Harder scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Olympique Lyonnais, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words at RC Strasbourg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lucas Høgsberg is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad14 Dec 2026

RC Strasbourg lose Louis Albert Cissé

30 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at RC Strasbourg

Filip Jörgensen and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Diogo Sousa

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Diogo Sousa, and the manager let it.

Match14 Dec 2026

The half-term report on RC Strasbourg

Position 9, 20 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Hervé Maillard left the room before anybody could ask which.
