Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
No deal for Stanis Idumbo at that price
Le Havre AC offered $12.2M; Monaco said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Le Havre AC rebuffed over Timothy Chadli
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Mouscron have kept their man, and Le Havre AC go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Le Havre AC sign Dominik Greif for $7.5M
The paperwork is done: Dominik Greif joins from Olympique Lyonnais in a deal worth $7.5M. Now comes the harder part.

Rassoul Ndiaye signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rassoul Ndiaye and Le Havre AC agree another 4 years.

Eyes on Simon Ebonog again
The phone has started ringing about Simon Ebonog again, and this time the name on the line is Stade Rennais. Le Havre AC are listening politely and promising nothing.

Le Havre AC spend $7.5M on the signing the town wanted
It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $7.5M for Dominik Greif, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

A row about effort at Le Havre AC
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sota Nakamura was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Rassoul Ndiaye
“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.
