  • Rémi Oudin should be loaned with an option to buy in the coming hours to the Girondins de Bordeaux.
  • The midfielder from Reims was followed by the club for many months after his very good first season in Ligue 1 last year.
  • Bordeaux leaders are still looking for an attacker.

Finally. After months of negotiations, Rémi Oudin's midfielder from Reims should finally join the Girondins. The Stade de Reims and Bordeaux found an agreement this Thursday morning for a loan with option to buy according to our information. A call option of 7.5 million euros but which could go up to 10 million euros with bonuses. The player and his entourage are tweaking their last details around a four-year contract.

Rémi Oudin had been in the club's sights for several months. He had already almost joined the Gironde last summer after a good first season in Ligue 1 (11 goals and 4 assists in 40 games) but lack of liquidity the Bordeaux leaders had not been able to conclude the dossier. Paulo Sousa's 23-year-old left-hander is very popular. The Portuguese coach appreciates the technical finesse of the player but also his behavior and his state of mind. The first recruit of the Girondins winter transfer window could be present from Saturday at Matmut Atlantique for Bordeaux-Lyon.

Still looking for an attacker

Even if many doubts still suffer about the ambitions of King Street the owner of the club, this arrival should reassure the supporters of the Navy and White a little. The priority is always to find an attacker for the Girondins. Several tracks have closed in recent days. The one leading to Olivier Giroud still exists but is "impossible today, at the moment T" slides a close friend of the file at 20 Minutes. Bordeaux does not have the financial means to cover 100% of its salary. However, the club is not looking for a left piston during this transfer window according to our information.

On the departure side, it is not far from flat calm for the moment. After Yassine Benrahou's loan to Nîmes, the Girondins are looking for a way out for at least three other players: Maxime Poundjé, Paul Baysse and Jonathan Cafu. The offers do not jostle on the desk of Eduardo Macia, the director of football.

In recent days, the club has simply had offers for the Brazilian midfielder. Proposals from Bulgaria, Greece and Cyprus, but considered far too weak for the moment.
