Ivo Grbic, the goalkeeper so hoped for by Losc
Lille hold (finally) the successor of Mike Maignan in his goals. The champions of France welcome the 25-year-old Croatian goalkeeper Ivo Grbic from Atlético Madrid. And this within the framework of a loan with an option to purchase. “It’s a great opportunity for me. I intend to give everything on the field to help the team this season, ”says the person concerned, on the site of his new team. “After a rich experience in a great club and alongside a great goalkeeper (Jan Oblak), today Ivo has the necessary maturity, as well as all the qualities specific to his position, to take even more responsibilities”, analyzes Olivier Létang, CEO LOSC. Trained in Split, Ivo Grbic played for two years at Lokomotiva Zagreb before joining the Colchoneros in 2020. He only kept the goals of the Spanish champions once last season, against the modest club Cardassar in the Cup of the King (3-0). Recall that Mike Maignan, him, took the direction of AC Milan. It is the 30-year-old French goalkeeper Benjamin Lecompte who will replace Grbic at Atlético. He is loaned by AS Monaco.
