It was close this morning, but Jean-Michael Seri’s move from Fulham to Bordeaux is now ‘imminent’.
That’s according to local outlet Sud-Ouest, who tend to be very well informed when it comes to their surrounding football teams, who explain the deal ‘should be concluded in the coming hours’.
The newspaper remind everyone it’s a loan until the end of the season that should give the Ivory Coast international the minutes he has been missing under Scott Parker at Craven Cottage.
All that’s left to sort out are a ‘few details’, which includes a PCR test for Covid-19, and there are ‘very strong chances’ that Seri will be wearing the Ligue 1 side’s shirt until the end of the season.
Despite Galatasaray pushing for a deal of their own for a player they know well from his loan there last year, Seri was ‘convinced by Alain Roche’, their director of football.
Furthermore, the midfielder ‘strongly wanted to work with manager Jean-Louis Gasset’, and quickly agreed a move there.
