It was expected, it’s now official! The Racing Club de Strasbourg, resident of Ligue 1, announced the transfer of the young Abakar Sylla from Club Brugge on Saturday evening.

Landed from Côte d’Ivoire, his country of origin, in September 2021, the central defender will have played a total of 28 matches with the Blue and Black before heading to France. This season, Sylla, 20, shone in the Champions League. He had notably scored the only goal of the match once morest Bayer Leverkusen, on the occasion of the first day (1-0).

The Ivorian international arrives in Strasbourg with the label of the most expensive player in the history of the club. According to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer window specialist, Club Brugge will receive… 20 million euros! A huge sum when you know that it only cost the people of Bruges 200,000 euros 2 years ago.

This is already the third “big” start on the side of the Venice of the North. Before Sulla, Clinton Women had already joined Olympique Lyonnais (5 million), while Noah Lang returned to the Netherlands, where he signed for PSV (12.5 million).
