Une grande braderie en vue chez les Girondins

Bordeaux: Departures of “big contract players” planned
Mathematically, Bordeaux can still stay in Ligue 1, but on the ground, the Girondins show no positive signs to stay in the top flight. Given the club’s latest results in the scapular (5 losses and 3 draws), it is heading straight for Ligue 2. A relegation that the president of FCGB had mentioned in early March. In a long interview in The Teamhe had assured that he would remain at the head of the club, despite everything. Gerard Lopez had also warned of the effects of a possible descent into Ligue 2.
“The consequences of relegation would be a very profound overhaul of the structure of the Girondins”, he announced. He was even a little more specific, confirming possible departures from Bordeaux during the summer transfer window. The 50-year-old leader announced “a huge cut in operating costs: very significant reduction in the number of employees, on players with big contracts, but not those we brought in”.
The future of the young people of the training center threatened
The players’ agent, Christophe Hutteau, confirms the trend and makes it known that a relegation from the Girondins will also impact the future of the young players of the academy, who aspire to a first professional contract. Their future would be in jeopardy. “Many young people at the training center do not know what their future will be. They’ve been wondering for a long time.”did he name on France Bluein remarks reported by Girondins4Ever.
“There is a greater chance that Bordeaux will no longer be among the elite next season… So that means that there will be layoffs, that there will be no contract extensions for certain players . There will also be sales because the club, in the best of situations, will be forced to value assets, ”said Christophe Hutteau.
