AC Milan close to a double blow in Lille!
LOSC Mercato: Humiliated by ESTAC this weekend, the Lille could experience another disappointment with the loss of one of their best players.
LOSC Mercato: A second official start in Lille?
The defeat of LOSC against ESTAC destroyed Lille’s last hopes of qualifying for the European Cup. The Lille are 10th in the championship with 6 points behind 5th place 3 days from the end. The end of the season promises to be complicated for the Mastiffs who should have suffered a massive exodus this summer.
Without the European Cup, LOSC will have to sell its best talents. One of them is called Renato Sanches. The Portuguese international will leave the North this summer. According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, AC Milan is the club best placed to welcome him. The Milanese would be close to completing the signing of the player trained at Benfica. Thanks to the arrival of new owners, the Rossoneri have the means to pay the 25 million euros requested by the Mastiffs. He could find Sven Botman who should also join Lombardy. In Milan, he could also find Rafael Leão and Mike Maignan.
A season to forget for LOSC
The season had however started well for Lille. For his first season at the head of LOSC, Jocelyne Gourvennec won the Champions Trophy against PSG. In the euphoria of the title of champion of France, the Northerners had won the championship. The course in the Champions League was historic with an elimination in the round of 16. Then, the Mastiffs suffered a series of poor performances which took them away from the leading teams.
Despite good results in the European Cup, Lille’s season was a failure. The results of Jocelyn Gourvennec’s men are well below the objectives. Lille were aiming for the podium at the start of the season. The post of the French coach could be questioned at the end of the season.
