Market

Nimes come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Paris FC did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Paris FC bid $9.6M for Odsonne Édouard

The offer went to RC Lens 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 targets

Andrija Bulatović due for a Paris FC medical

Everything agreed with RC Lens, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

Paris FC bid $6.9M for Mohamed Abdelmonem

The offer went to OGC Nice 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.

Market

Obed Nkambadio turns Leganés down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Moses Simon wants more than Paris FC are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Transfer targets

LOSC Lille tell Paris FC: Soriba Diaoune is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Boardroom

Paris FC go back to the board over Odsonne Édouard

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $10.0M — a club that wants Odsonne Édouard enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Diego Coppola stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Diego Coppola and Paris FC agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

In brief
