Mercato: A transfer today even before the transfer window?

A month before the launch of the winter transfer window, Ligue 1 clubs prepare their wish lists and the players' list on the start. What is less known is that the LFP allows the transfer of a player outside the period of mercato, as a Joker, which is about to live PSG.

Indeed, in addition to the medical joker which consists of recruiting off mercato to replace a player injured for a long time, French football authorities allow the recruitment of a non-medical joker, activable on any rookie licensed in France.

The RC Strasbourg could thus benefit from it if one believes the information of France Football, since the Alsatian club would make the forcing to obtain the loan of the young Paris striker Timothy Weah, in lack of playing time in Paris.

The people of Strasbourg would like to use the wildcard option to welcome the US international now and without waiting for the next winter mercato, if the PSG agrees.
