Transfers. Toulouse: ten reinforcements for 10 million?
Here are the trends on the Ile du Ramier side as the “sales” period now opens on the night of Thursday to Friday June 9. La Dépêche reveals the profiles sought and the first avenues explored by President Comolli.
About ten recruits in all sectors of the game, unearthed abroad, ideal age under 25, value of the transaction around one million (maximum €2.5 million in the event of a core target) and gross monthly salary up to 40,000 euros. Here is the job description for the Toulouse player 2022-2023, back in the big leagues. State of play.
List of courses
According to our information, apart from the upheaval desired by the club’s staff in the goals, priority is given to the positions of left side, central, midfielders (defensive and offensive), winger and center forward. After, due to the opportunities, the Téfécistes leaders would not spit either – behind – on a versatile eccentric (that is to say able to foresee on both sides) as well as another central rear. And again, we are not talking about major departures which would therefore be compensated. Starting with the magical Dutchman, Branco van den Boomen.
Divisive Parameters
If the president wanted a first salvo of arrivals by the resumption of the band at Philippe Montanier fixed let us remember it on June 23, according to our sources, it is not progressing at the proposed speed. Two reasons: firstly, the administrative complexity increases to finalize a movement coming from abroad where a mandate is necessary; two, a financial brake knowing that the average emoluments of a resident of the elite inflict the 60,000 € (PSG apart).
Last obstacle that it is not incongruous to take into consideration: the format of the L1 championship which changes for the exercise which starts the first weekend of August; namely four scheduled descents, which makes the market more competitive.
Without forgetting that, as Toulouse FC is prospecting in “exotic” championships, the competitions are often not over yet…
Progress of work
IN DEFENSE. If the goalkeeping file is a priori on the right track, it would seem that that of the central defender is almost complete – without, however, that the identity of the lucky winner has (until now) filtered.
Unless it is the Algerian international (5 caps, 1 but) Ahmed Touba (bound until June 2023), whose name has appeared on the Web in recent weeks. But big teams are eyeing the impressive (1m90) axial from Waalwijk (Netherlands) aged 24: Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen, Betis Sevilla, Benfica Lisbon, AEK Athens. from there, it’s hard to imagine the Comolli club being able to compete.
IN THE MIDSET. In the same role as Spierings, it is the Serbian captain of Partizan Belgrade who returns insistently in the press of his country. However, still according to our information, the known Sasa Zdjelar (27 years old, 1m83; until 2023) should not join the banks of the Garonne. The TéFéCé recruitment unit had already looked into him during the summer of 2020… without going any further.
The hoped-for offensive risks arriving before him!
BEFORE. As revealed on Tuesday on our site, two very young Australian attackers had the interest of Haut-Garonne scouts: left winger Mohamed Touré and right winger Yaya Dukuly. Alas, entered too late in the fight, they will escape the Tef.
Who, on the other hand at the post of N°9, is about to complete the signature of another foreigner. It remains to be seen whether the latter will have good for the top scorer of L2, Rhys Healey, about several clubs have come to the information…
