While the winter transfer window will open its doors on January 1 at midnight, the Stade Malherbe wishes to strengthen but also to register departures. Several young players lacking playing time could pack their bags while the case of Kélian Nsona remains in abeyance. In demand, Anthony Gonçalves and Yoël Armougom must stay.

Under contract until June 2022, Anthony Gonçalves is courted in National 1 by Châteauroux and his former club Laval, according to information from Sport à Caen. But his experience and his importance in the Caen locker room count for the leaders: “His idea is to stay with us. He has an exemplary professional behavior, we are not in a starting speech “ explains Olivier Pickeu to our colleagues. In Normandy, his salary is comfortable and the former Strasbourg resident will be free to engage where he wishes in six months. Another player called despite his lack of playing time, left side Yoël Armougom. With the possible departure of Ali Abdi from CAN (he is present in the first list of the Tunisian coach), the Reunionese should however remain too. He will have his chance again in a role of piston that he particularly likes. Relegated to the bench since Vandermersch’s return, he seems to have a real chance to seize, Abdi having so far not lived up to expectations: “We will keep Yoël and we would rather lend Aloys Fouda” closes the president of Caen.
