FC Bordeaux looking to sign two players in the winter transfer window – Ligue 1 news
FC Girondins de Bordeaux are looking to be more active during the winter transfer window after the Aquitaine club did not spend a single penny in the summer transfer window.
Reports in French media are already circulating about the possibility of former Bordeaux striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 where the Moroccan has fallen down the pecking order largely due to
the great form shown by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380.
Club president, Jean-Louis Triaud is looking to give coach Francis Gillot a 10 million Euro budget for the acquisition of new players in the team.
Sud Ouest claims that Bordeaux are now looking to sign two defensive players in the winter transfer session. 25-year-old Brazilian, Mariano http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fluminense-c39366 in the Brazilian league is one of those players.
Mathieu Chalme’s recent form is a major concern for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mariano-c23890 as the player he could rely on. However, signing the 25-year-old could prove to be a tough task as Mariano is already attracting considerable
interest from the likes of AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toulouse-FC-c40751.
The second name mentioned in Sud Ouest is of a defensive midfielder Tomas Sivok who is currently on the books of Turkish giants Besiktas. The 28-year-old Czech international has been with the Turkish club since 2008 and has slowly built his reputation as
one of the best defensive midfielders in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026.
Gillot is looking at Sivok in order to find a suitable partner for Cameron international Landry N’Guemo who joined the club this summer on a free transfer. Many experts have felt that too much is being asked of the Cameroonian who clearly lacks support from
his teammates and Gillot intends to change all that.
A fee in the region of 4 million Euros is being believed to be enough to sign Sivok who has a lot of experience of playing at the top level for Besiktas who regularly feature in the European competitions. Furthermore, Sivok’s international experience would
also come in handy for a Bordeaux side whose roster is not filled with enough internationals.
