Les arguments de Bordeaux pour convaincre la DNCG et éviter une rétrogradation
A monument to the French championship, the Girondins de Bordeaux were downgraded to National 1 on June 14, after their situation was reviewed by the DNCG. The club and its president Gérard Lopez have obviously appealed, and will rely on these five arguments to convince the sacrosanct financial policeman of French football.
According to several corroborating sources, the new Madrid player was recruited for 80M€ + 20M€ by Real Madrid. A titanic transfer which was already the main argument of the Girondins during this passage before the DNCG.
Indeed, at the time of selling its jewel to AS Monaco for €18 million during the 2020 winter transfer window, Bordeaux had the good idea to impose a percentage on resale to the Monegasque club, which margins between 10 and 20 % on the capital gain.
The Bordeaux club therefore collected between 6.2 and 12.4 M€ gross. An amount that can peak at €18.8 million if bonuses and training costs are included.
In the same logic, a potential departure of Jules Koundé, trained at the club between 2013 and 2017, could bring big news. Ardently coveted by Chelsea, FC Barcelona and Newcastle, the clause of the French international is set at 90M€.
The only thinning of the Bordeaux season is about to sail towards a new horizon. Author of a season full of promise (6 goals in 26 Ligue 1 games), the navy blue sapphire continued by finishing top scorer in the Maurice-Ravello tournament (5 goals in 5 games).
Beyond arousing envy, the value of the 19-year-old striker has naturally exploded. Coveted by OM and Montpellier in particular, foot market claims Manchester City and Bundesliga clubs oversaw him at the tournament.
The suitors of not missing and the critical situation of the Girondins should precipitate a departure for around 10M€.
Girondin supporters expect a massive exodus this summer. The first imminent departure should be that of Hwang Ui-Jo.
Author of 38 goals in three seasons in the Scapular jersey, the South Korean is particularly coveted by FC Nantes, MLS and Mainz according to RMC Sports. The latter could leave for around 12M€.
The other two high market value players on the move are Alberth Elis and Junior Onana. Author of a promising season (9 goals in 20 games), the Girondins have exercised the purchase option of the Honduran fixed at 6M€ and hope to recover the double. For the Cameroonian international, Schalke 04 and AC Milan have come to informative information The Team.
“If there is a good team that shows up, I will be transferred as soon as possible in order to have time to adapt to this new team.”
– Hwang Ui-Jo
This second decisive passage in front of the DNCG is played backstage. South West revealed that Gérard Lopez had engaged in a showdown with former shareholders King Street and Fortress. Holders of the debt, the latter have proved to be inflexible for the moment.
Good news however, the metropolis of Bordeaux has suspended the rent of Matmut Atlantique in order to reduce the club’s budget by €5m for the coming season. A gesture which testifies to the importance of the Girondins for the city and which could prove to be decisive.
Well, this is obviously the least advisable solution and far be it from us to promote corruption. But if we start from the logic “the end justifies the means”, Gérard Lopez could draw inspiration from the greatest like Bernard Tapie to bend the DNCG with money.
And then it should My Little Lawn to update his “suitcase to Nanard” in order to rename it “the suitcase to Gégé”.
