Transfer targets14 Sep 2026
The window shuts on the Daren Mosengo deal
Chamois Niortais ran out of time with Le Havre AC. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.
Market14 Sep 2026
Patrick Lucas hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Chamois Niortais can pretend not to have heard.
Market14 Sep 2026
Rémy Le Gall wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Chamois Niortais hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Chamois Niortais rebuffed over Felix Tsimba

The market said no: Richard Martinez stays put
Chamois Niortais opened the door and nobody walked through it. So Richard Martinez stays — listed, trained, and available — while both sides mark the days to January on the same calendar.

A door opens for Édouard Vincent
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Antoine Denis asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
