At Standard they need reinforcement, that is clear. Sporting director Fergal Harkin knows the English market very well. Maybe the sporting director can ask about bringing an ex-trendsetter back to the Ardent City?
Mangala is open for return
Merveille Bokadi and Kostas Laifis no longer have a future at Standard. Both are out of contract and will leave the club in the summer. They are having a weak season and perhaps Standard can try to release them to make room for another defender. Eliaquim Mangala late The last hour the door is already ajar for a return to Sclessin.
“It’s a possibility. I remain open to everything and don’t close any doors. This is where it all started for me. Ah, the hell of Sclessin, what madness when I think about it. I found some of the same enthusiasm in Saint-Étienne , but Sclessin is incomparable.”
Expensive bird at Manchester City
Mangala is now 32 years old. The French defender currently plays for Portuguese club Estoril, where he only arrived in August. He has a contract there until June 2024. To date, he has played seven games with the Portuguese.
Mangala broke through at Standard as a youngster and secured a nice transfer to FC Porto. Manchester City picked him up for 40 million euros. Harkin will certainly know him from his time at Manchester City. The Frenchman also played for Valencia, Everton and Saint-Etienne.
