The transfer window will start drastically on the side of the Canebière.

The LOSC, already announced as a contender for Cragno, is still on the spot according to the media, while the Northerners are looking for a replacement for Mike Maignan. However, the two French teams consider that the amount requested is still too large, and there is no doubt that Phocéens and Mastiffs will try to reduce it. Italian clubs, not mentioned, are also interested in the one who has conceded 53 goals in 34 league games this season. To be continued …
