Market23 Aug 2027

Mohamed Sylla agrees terms with Nimes

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Bourg-Peronnas people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market23 Aug 2027

Mohamed Sylla asks to leave Bourg-Peronnas

“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.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027

Lucas Roman is a medical away from Bourg-Peronnas

The deal with Olympique de Marseille is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Cheikh Koïté is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Door shut on Ali Abdi

Bourg-Peronnas asked and OGC Nice said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at Bourg-Peronnas

Rayan Souici 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.

Boardroom23 Aug 2027

Bourg-Peronnas agree a free transfer for Tom Auvré

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad23 Aug 2027

A late step up for Rayan Slimani

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

The dugout23 Aug 2027

No hiding place for Benjamin Bešić

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

Hugo Oliveira gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Hugo Oliveira has just signed for Bourg-Peronnas, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

The paperwork begins on Nassim Lallemand

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Bourg-Peronnas have done the hard part with Monaco, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Quentin Lacour in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bourg-Peronnas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Cheikh Koïté signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Cheikh Koïté and Bourg-Peronnas agree another 4 years.

Squad12 Jul 2027

A late step up for Nathan Vitré

At 29 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

A loan move for Yann Lienard is in the works

Bourg-Peronnas have made the call to Monaco. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
