The LOSC encountered difficulties in securing the young Dutch goaltender Robin Roefs, a priority target to strengthen his strength in view of the imminent departure of Lucas Chevalier. NEC Nijmegen claims a sum of EUR 12 million for Roefs, a value deemed excessive by the LOSC which would not want to exceed EUR 8 million. Despite the player’s recognized qualities, including his 10 clean sheets during the last season in Eredivisie, the management is still in a position and refuses to yield to the pressure of the sales club. This attitude is part of a prudent recruitment policy focused on the search for good business, focusing on the financial and wage stability of the club.

At the same time, the Paris FC suffered a setback by failing to recruit Benjamin André, the iconic LOSC captain, who extended his contract until 2028. Despite a great financial capacity thanks to the support of the Aarnault family and the Red Bull group, the Parisian club had made the former Lille a centrepiece of its project for Ligue 1. However, the Paris FC now turns to another LOSC player, Mohamed Bayo, who is considered to be “undesirable luxury” in Bruno Genesio’s strength.

Mohamed Bayo, a powerful and international attacker from Guinea, is currently on the list of LOSC transfers after a mixed loan to the Royal Antwerp. Despite this, it maintains a strong market share on the transfer market, attracting the interest of four renowned European clubs. This situation illustrates the LOSC’s strategy of not rushing and not yielding to the pressure of clubs wishing to seize its players, preferring to wait for an offer that meets its financial and sporting criteria. The future of Robin Roefs and Mohamed Bayo remains uncertain, depending on the evolution of the negotiations and the interest of the clubs concerned.
