Mercato : les Girondins peuvent-ils relancer la piste Raoul Gustavo ? – Girondins
The next period of opening of the transfer market opens in a few weeks in Ligue 1. The Girondins de Bordeaux could take advantage to correct a lack of staff at the post of left central defender.
A left-hander is missing in central defense
Indeed, today there is a lack of staff in this post. With the exception of Ricardo Mangas who is versatile and can evolve left side or left central defender, no central defender in the workforce is left-handed.
In addition, with the repeated injuries of Koscielny, Mexer and today Medioub, Vladimir Petkovic is constantly changing his central ax. Thus, he is obliged to make evolve Stian Gregersen ax left while his preferred position is of right axial player.
Raoul Gustavo a serious lead?
In order to stop the bleeding in defense (30 goals conceded in 14 games), the Girondins must mobilize in January to recruit a left central defender.
Moreover, this summer, the Brazilian player Raoul Gustavo was followed by Admar Lopes and his team.
This 22-year-old central defender (1.88m) is left-handed. It evolves to the Corinthians. He has started only three times this season. The Girondins had approached the player in August, and he was close to engaging with the Navy and White.
Will the club relaunch this track? We do not know to this day.
However, Bordeaux will have to separate from a player before welcoming a new one, DNCG supervision requires.
Raoul Gustavo’s transfer fee is between 1 and 2 M €.
