Claude Puel, are you going to collect players for the trip to Lens?
“Neither Abi, nor Debuchy and nor Gabriel Silva. It is not sure whether they will be available after the international break. These are not small injuries, especially for Abi. “
Are you going to have more resources to recruit with the transfer of Wesley Fofana to Leicester for 40 million euros (including 5 million euros in bonus)?
” No. Since my arrival last year, I was aware of the policy pursued over the last few seasons. I have read the economic data. Very quickly, a new project had to be defined to reduce the payroll and the losses that the club could have. The challenge is to build a new project by reducing the sails while retaining a certain ambition. We will try to develop assets for the club and at the same time a future. “
We are still talking about tens of millions of euros …
“Things are quite simple. Wesley leaving, this makes it possible to perpetuate the club and its employees but not to incur new expenses. Between perpetuating the club or keeping Wesley, there is no debate. The other policies implemented before have strongly impacted the club. He had the pandemic, confinement and health measures which lead to very significant gaps for the future of the club in the short and medium term. “
