One thing we’ve noticed during our time covering transfer stories around Europe is that, sometimes, it’s worth looking outside of the usual swamp of sources publishing on the daily and take note of smaller websites.
While bigger outlets can afford to publish “exclusives” on the daily that are very hit and miss, other ones around them are trying to build a reputation, meaning any information they have tends to be extremely precious.
Take Jeune Footeux, for example, who on Monday have a story regarding Fulham’s Claudio Ranieri and his interest in Valentin Rongier.
Fully aware of the Nantes midfielder’s abilities from his time with the Ligue 1 club, the new manager of the Cottagers is said to be readying a January assault on his former side to sign the 23-year-old.
The French website explain Fulham are putting together a €25m offer to try and convince their president Waldemar Kita, who is already facing a struggle to keep Emiliano Sala, to let go of his star.
We’ll always cover these kind of stories as, if it happens, we’ll know any information Jeunes Footeux has in the future can be relied upon.
Now we just have to wait and see if this bid is made.
