The LOSC managed to win against Benfica Lisbon in the recruitment race for Felix Correia, a significant victory for the club during this summer mercato. Thanks to an attractive game project presented by Olivier Létang and the decisive intervention of Tiago Santos, the Lille leaders concluded a €7 million agreement with Gil Vicente for the transfer of the Portuguese winger. Correiia, 24 years old, shone in the last season in Liga Portugal, with 9 goals and 4 assists in 33 games, attracting the interest of several clubs, including LOSC and Benfica.
The success of this acquisition is the result of teamwork and effective strategy. Bruno Genesio, LOSC coach, was able to rely on the expertise of Tiago Santos, former teammate of Correiia at the Sporting CP, to convince the player to join the club. This victory reinforces the LOSC’s position and demonstrates its ability to attract promising talent. The arrival of Correiia is seen as a major asset for the team, able to bring dynamism and creativity to the attack.
In parallel, another good news comes from Lille: Benjamin André made an unexpected return to the club. This recruit represents a valuable back-up for the field, bringing her experience and leadership. André’s arrival, combined with the acquisition of Correiia, reflects an ambitious and successful recruitment policy for the LOSC, which aims to consolidate its team and maintain itself at the forefront of the competition. These two transfers are considered to be master blows for the club, and suggest a promising future.
