The Ligue 1 giants have already submitted 3 million euros to Le Havre for the signature of Ryan Mendes. However, the initial bid has been rejected by the Normandy club
So far, the summer transfer window in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 is quite calm. Apart from the likes of LOSC Lille, Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier Herault, not many Ligue 1 clubs have made a lot of news regarding arrival of players.
Lille, thanks to the lucrative transfer of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 (around 40 million Euros), have a chance to rebuild a potent strike force to further strengthen their numbers in order to move on from the absence of the Belgian.
In order to do that, Lille coach Rudi Garcia is looking at players with specific profiles.
“I think we need a winger who can play right or left. Let’s not forget that we lost the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yohan-Cabaye-c37423. We need decisive players.”
According to reports, LOSC Lille have submitted an offer of 3 million Euros to Ligue 2 side Le Havre for the services of Cape Verde international Ryan Mendes. The 22-year-old forward has just finished a successful campaign on a personal note for the Normandy side in which he scored 13 goals and provided one assist in 34 Ligue 2 appearances.
Garcia feels that the youngster is a perfect fit for the club as he will do a good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitri-Payet-c11276 from AS Saint-Etienne as a replacement for the Cote D’Ivoire star.
However, that move has till now, not paid dividends and Garcia wants to take his chances on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mendes-c25206 who has attracted a lot of interest from a host of Ligue 1 clubs.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 were also keen on signing the player but it appears that Lille could beat off competition from the Rhone side for the youngster’s signature.
However, Le Havre management have rejected Lille’s initial bid for the player as they feel it is too low. The Normandy club’s president, Jean-Pierre Louvel hopes to get more cash for the highly-rated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cape-Verde-c2866 star whose contract expires next June.
Montpellier are also interested in the youngster’s services so Rudi Garcia needs to act quickly in order to secure the player’s services.
