Mercato: Lille aims for between 30 and 40 M € sales in January – Football

Lille thinks of separating several players during the winter mercato. The goal for the club nordiste is to recover at least 30 million euros by separating from three or four players.

Will Thiago Maia leave the LOSC in January?

On December 10, the leaders of Lille OSC have an appointment before the DNCG. The financial gendarme of the French football always monitors near the indebtedness of the club northerner and must still be rebadured, in spite of a situation which has improved appreciably for a year.

3 or 4 scheduled departures in January

Banned for recruitment last January and threatened with administrative downgrading, the LOSC had to deal with a wage bill supervised during the summer. If the sporting situation is much better today, and if Grard Lopez has respected the commitments made in June, efforts are still needed to strive for balance.

Thus, La Voix du Nord announces that Lille leaders have planned to sell three or four players in the next transfer window. The objective is to recover 30 40 million euros, some of which could be reinvested in one or two highly potential elements. It remains to be seen who will be packing this winter.

Who can leave?

A departure from Nicolas Pp is not news, even 100 M € as Lopez has already said. Given the good first half of the LOSC season, 4th in Ligue 1 a point of 2nd place in Lyon after 14 days, difficult to imagine bleeding in the eleven Christophe Galtier. Thiago Mendes and Xeka in particular could receive proposals, but it is rather the side of the players who play little that must be watched.

The first name that comes to mind is that of Thiago Maia. Problem, the odds of the Brazilian has dropped. Recruit € 14 million, it is now worth € 4 million by Transfermarkt! It will be necessary that his courtiers remember above all his good performances at FC Santos to get a better price. Kouado Dabila, Edgar I, Youssouf Kon or Luiz Araujo can also be candidates to leave. But it will be necessary to negotiate or sacrifice at least one player with a bigger odds to reach the 30 M € viss.
