Mercato: Man on the start, Terrier on the radar

Faced with the almost complete departure of Sadio Man, who is the subject of a battle between Bayern Munich and PSG, Liverpool is looking for a worthy replacement. According to information from the Daily Mirror, Martin Terrier is seen as the ideal player to succeed the Senegalese.

Size change for Martin Terrier? Pre-selected for the French team by Didier Deschamps and nominated for the title of best player of the season in Ligue 1 (finally won by Kylian Mbapp, editor’s note), the Rennes winger has just completed the most successful exercise of his career, with 21 goals scored in the league.

And, very logically, several big Premier League stables are starting to take an interest in his profile, which would correspond so well to British games.

Man between Bayern and Paris

Tottenham have already offered a contract to the former Lyonnais, who also has another (very) interesting touch: Liverpool. And for good reason, since Sadio Man wants to leave the club, as he announced to his teammates after the Champions League final lost to Real Madrid (0-1) last Saturday. And no matter the destination of the Senegalese, ardently desired by Bayern Munich and PSG, the Reds must find a replacement for him.

Burrow, then? As we learn from the Daily Mirror this Wednesday, the XXL season of Rennais in L1 has not gone unnoticed on the side of Anfield, where he is perceived as the ideal player to replace Man. Same position, same versatility, and perhaps even a greater volume of defensive play for the Habs, which is not negligible in a team led by Jrgen Klopp. Everything sticks, therefore, especially since the Reds do not want to pay an extravagant sum.

Substitute for Man or complement?

And they are unlikely to do so with a little-known name in the Premier League. The Rennais, under contract until 2025, is estimated at 25 M€ by Transfermarkt, and this could correspond to the price of his future transfer, unless the interest of the Spurs does not increase the bids. It remains to be seen in what role the player who also passed through Strasbourg and Lille would arrive. In six years spent at Liverpool, Man has become a legend: will Terrier have the shoulders?

Perhaps, but Klopp will not ask him to have them immediately. A priori, Terrier will arrive more in a role of complement, to compete with Luis Diaz left and Diogo Jota in point, while waiting for the arrival of another striker if Roberto Firmino actually leaves the Reds one year from the end of his contract. Rennes’ top scorer (and player) this season will therefore have to fight for playing time if Liverpool and Rennes manage to reach an agreement.

What if Terrier decided to stay?

unless Terrier decides to stay in Brittany? We’ll see how it goes at the end of the season, but I’m under contract until 2025. I’m happy here, I’m happy to be here., explained at the beginning of May the one who shines with a thousand lights under the orders of Bruno Genesio. Especially since there is a World Cup to play in five months, and the winger has not given up on the idea of ​​​​participating in it. This requires a big start to the season, so playing time… A difficult choice awaits the Habs.
