Bordeaux's loss, Liverpool's gain?
Girondins de Bordeaux, a club known for producing talents like Aurelien Tchouameni and Jules Kounde, has officially filed for bankruptcy.
As a result, all players, including those in the academy, are set to be released from their contracts. This situation presents a golden opportunity for clubs to snap up emerging talents without transfer fees.
Mathys Angely, who made his professional debut last season in Ligue 2, has caught the attention of several clubs.
The young defender is considered one of the most promising talents in Bordeaux's ranks, and Liverpool had already shown interest in him before he renewed his contract until 2028.
