The LOSC could experience a major change in the coming days with the potential departure of its captain, Benjamin André. The midfielder, almost 35 years old, aspires to a new challenge and wishes to join the Paris FC. According to the journalists, André informed coach Olivier Létang of his willingness to leave the Lille club, while he still has a year’s contract. The Paris FC, newly promoted in Ligue 1, offered 3 million euros for the player, an offer that has not yet been accepted by the LOSC. This amount is considered reasonable given André’s age and contractual situation, and is part of the Paris club’s strategy to strengthen its workforce to perform well in the championship.

Benjamin André, an experienced player with 438 matches in Ligue 1 and a French champion title in 2021, found an agreement for a three-year contract with the Paris FC. His experience and leadership are particularly appreciated by the Parisian club, which seeks to rely on executive players to ensure the maintenance and aim higher in Ligue 1. André is attracted by the PFC’s sport project and the prospect of a central role in the team, considering this as an opportunity to take up a final challenge at the highest level.

On the LOSC side, the management is faced with a delicate dilemma: to give in to an iconic player and leader in the locker room or use it to help stabilize a team in reconstruction after several major departures. Coach Bruno Genesio clearly expresses his fear of a possible departure of his captain. Although President Olivier Létang seems reluctant to let Benjamin André go, could he consider a confrontation to force his departure? Such a situation would mark a bitter end for a player who has marked the history of the LOSC.
