Click:coffee table

As reported by L’Équipe, 25-year-old central defender Denys Bain is joining Ligue 1 side Brest on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract with the Ligue 2 side Le Havre at the end of this month.

Bain has already penned a 3-year contract with SB29 and the deal is expected to be announced tomorrow.

Talks are also progressing with 35-year-old soon-to-be free agent Jérémy Morel, who is currently in Egypt to represent Madagascar at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Morel is understood to slowly be becoming seduced by the discourse put forward by Brest representatives.

Guingamp want €20m for Marcus Thuram

La Provence report this morning that EA Guingamp President Bertrand Desplat has set an asking price of at least €20m in order to sell attacker Marcus Thuram this summer.

Marseille have made a formal approach for the player and Andoni Zubizarreta wants to sign the 21-year-old. Dortmund are also interested in the player and especially his contractual situation, with his current deal expiring in 2020.

The €20m asking price seems hallucinatory with his contractual situation in mind, which has convinced Ligue 1 rivals Lyon to look elsewhere.

Celtic & Toulouse agree €8m deal for Christopher Jullien

As reported by L’Équipe, Scottish champions Celtic have agreed an €8m deal in principle to sign French central defender Christopher Jullien from Toulouse.

Finer details still need to be hashed out between the two clubs, but the 26-year-old has been successfully lured into making a move to the UK-based outfit where he will experience Champions’ League football.

He has had extensive discussions with the club’s board and staff and has already agreed to a long term contract with Celtic.

A medical will be scheduled tomorrow should Celtic and Toulouse agree on the finer deal points in the next 24 hours, which appears highly likely.

Caen have made a bid for Nantes forward Santy Ngom

Ouest-France report that Ligue 2 side SM Caen have submitted an offer for 26-year-old striker Santy Ngom of FC Nantes.

It is unclear whether this proposal was a loan with option to buy or a straight transfer. Les Canaris are currently considering the proposal, for a player who has started pre-season training with the reserves, following a decision from head coach Vahid Halilhodzic.

Manchester City forward Thierry Ambrose will join Metz permanently

As reported by L’Équipe, Manchester City have agreed a deal with Ligue 1 side FC Metz to sell French attacker Thierry Ambrose, who will sign a 4-year contract with Les Grenats imminently.

The 22-year-old underwent a medical on Saturday with success and will imminently sign a contract until 2023 with FCM. The nature of the fee agreement, that still has to be finalised between the two clubs, and the size of the transfer sum, are not yet disclosed, although the deal is expected to cost Metz between €2m and €3m.

Ambrose spent the 2018/19 campaign on loan with Ligue 2 side RC Lens, where he scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists in 33 matches, but shone as an ever-present threat for RCL in their ultimately unsuccessful promotion push.

Manchester United haven’t actually bid for Issa Diop yet, but will now – L’Équipe

L’Équipe claim that contrary to reporting in England and France, Premier League side Manchester United haven’t actually tested West Ham United’s resolve with a formal offer for 22-year-old French defender Issa Diop, despite incessant contacts between the Red Devils and the player’s entourage.

Nor have there been formal discussions taking place between the two clubs – the outlet claims that this is about to change and United’s 1st formal bid should land on the Hammers’ table in the coming days.

The newspaper claims that West Ham’s position is that they do not want to sell Diop, but the door is ajar – as a result, MU will have to make a big effort, with it difficult to see their opening offer being worth less than €50m.

Diop himself has not earmarked this summer as an absolute must in terms of a departure from West Ham, but Manchester United’s interest will certainly make that position a little more tricky to internally justify.

However, the French youth international has decided that whatever happens, he will not force a move away from West Ham this summer, who believed in him to sign him from Toulouse last summer.

Christopher Jullien: “Celtic are a mythical club.”

Speaking in an interview with L’Équipe earlier this week, Celtic’s new French central defender Christopher Jullien discussed the move – highlights.

What do you take from your time at Toulouse (2016-2019)?

I arrived on tip-toes in Ligue 1, and in my first year. I am truly very happy with what I did. The second and third years, I am not satisfied with the image that I projected of myself. At the end of it all, it is a mixed bag, even if I finished well in the final months. I lacked consistency. The fact that I did not give everything that I was capable of is a source of dissatisfaction. I did not bring to Toulouse what I should have. As a collective, it was difficult as well. The club must be in the top 10 in Ligue 1. We didn’t achieve that. The squad last season was the best squad I had played in at Toulouse, and we still didn’t manage it.

Do you feel like your time at Toulouse was a missed opportunity in terms of progression?

No, I don’t think so. Each challenge is another stage. What I experienced at Toulouse will help me progress. But it was the right time to leave. At my age, for my progression, with a desire to reach my peak, I had to go elsewhere. With the aim of winning trophies.

What is Celtic going to give you?

A superior stage. The choice was simple. This is a mythical club, with an incredible atmosphere. They play in the Champions’ League and a have a league that resembles the Premier League.

Your arrival in Celtic was met with a lot of enthusiasm in Scotland – how does it feel to be a star?

(laughs) I realised that immediately I would be recognised. They are the best fans in Europe. It will be up to me to meet their expectations. It is a beautiful challenge.
