Monaco: Moerman, after Okobo?
Moerman after Okobo in Monaco? M’Baye at the double European champion. The various national championships over, the transfer market is accelerating everywhere. This is particularly the case on the side of Turkey, which has just lost one of its French players and replaced him in stride with another French player.
