In Dunkirk, Gessime Yassine emerged this season as the revelation that no one saw coming so quickly. Best passer in Ligue 2 and newly crowned U20 world champion, the Moroccan is arousing envy.

The amounts mentioned on the market are around €6 million – more than half of the annual budget – an unexpected sum at this stage for an L2 structure.
On the maritime side, we are preparing to turn the page, but not without ambition. President Selçuk Demir reiterated: there is no closing of doors, the general interest prevails.
