The paperwork is done: Félix Correia joins from LOSC Lille in a deal worth $16.8M. Now comes the harder part.
Player ratings17 Jan 2028
Age has not caught Sofiane Boufal yet — 8.13
At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.13 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.
The dugout17 Jan 2028
Ethan Nkouka keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Le Havre AC may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Boardroom17 Jan 2028
Sufyan Ainani has agreed to leave Le Havre AC for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

$16.8M for Félix Correia, and Le Havre AC supporters approve
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Félix Correia from LOSC Lille for $16.8M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Door shut on Žan Celar
Le Havre AC asked and Basel said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Ally Samatta gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Match15 Jan 2028
The drought breaks for Le Havre AC
5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Dijon were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.
