According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Nottingham Forest seems to have abandoned its attempts to recruit Dilane Bakwa, a French winger of the RC Strasbourg. After submitting three offers to the Alsatian club, all rejected, the English club preferred another player, Dodi Lukeba, playing in Seville FC. The interest of the Nottingham Forest was not exclusive, as Leeds United had also expressed its interest, although no offer had been formally submitted. Bakwa’s departure is more and more likely, especially following his recent statements on Instagram, where he mentioned his last game with the club, suggesting an imminent transfer.

At the same time, two players from the RC Strasbourg, goaltender Mike Penders and versatile defender Diego Moreira, were selected by Belgium for the upcoming World Cup 2026 qualifying games. The Belgian team will face Liechtenstein on 4 September, followed by a match against Kazakhstan three days later. This selection reflects the talent and potential of these young players, who continue to be recognized internationally.

Finally, the RC Strasbourg announced the loan of its offensive environment Rayane Messi to the Pau FC until the end of the season. Messi, a French international in the youth categories, has not yet obtained many first-team opportunities in Strasbourg, despite some appearances in the Coupe de France and encouraging performances during friendly matches. This loan gives him a new chance to progress and gain experience in League 2.
