The Strasbourg club unveiled the key dates for the purchase of tickets for the return match of Champions League to the Meinau. The event arouses great enthusiasm among fans, who remember the team’s previous European passages. Subscribers benefit from an exclusive pre-purchase period until noon on Saturday, August 9, via an email sent by the club. Then, starting at noon on the same day, non-booked seats by subscribers will be freed and accessible at the special subscriber rate for the 2025/2026 season. The general opening of the sale to non-subscribers is scheduled for Monday 11 August at 2 p.m., with a limit of one place per subscriber account.

At the same time, information about the Strasbourg mercato surfaced. The club reportedly refused an offer of 28 million euros from Nottingham Forest for its French winger Dilane Bakwa, estimated its value at at at least 30 million euros. This position recalls the strategy adopted for Guela Doué, with AC Milan which had also tried to recruit Bakwa with offers of up to 18 million euros, but without success due to the inflexibility of the Alsatian club. The French winger, author of a strong season in Ligue 1, is considered a key player for Nottingham Forest’s new coach Liam Rosenior.

Strasbourg’s determination to retain Dilane Bakwa demonstrates the club’s confidence in its potential and its willingness to maintain a competitive team. The club clearly displayed its prize for the player, noting that it would not be willing to let him go for less than 30 million euros. This position could make it difficult to negotiate with Nottingham Forest, which seems to have already made several attempts to grab the player. The outcome of this case will therefore remain to be followed closely in the coming days.
