The Eagles of Mali are set to convene, presenting a promising opportunity for Modibo Sagnan, the 24-year-old defender from Montpellier, to potentially receive his first call-up to the national squad.
Thriving in Ligue 1 with Montpellier, Sagnan, who holds French nationality but boasts Malian and Mauritanian origins, is actively seeking an opportunity to represent an African team.
Despite overtures from Mauritania, the talented central defender appears inclined towards Mali, proudly displaying the Malian flag alongside the French flag in his Instagram biography.
As the call from the Eagles has been pending, the FIFA days scheduled for March could mark a significant milestone, ushering in Sagnan’s debut with Mali.
Sagnan, who joined Montpellier during the previous winter transfer window, has showcased remarkable performances, securing a pivotal role in the team.
With an impressive track record of five appearances for Montpellier, the 24-year-old has proven his mettle as a steadfast central defender.
Notably, Sagnan has also demonstrated versatility by contributing crucial goals, finding the back of the net twice, once in the league and another in the Coupe de France.
His consistent and impactful displays on the field have undoubtedly captured the attention of Éric Chelle, the coach of Mali, who is tasked with finalizing the squad for the upcoming FIFA days.
As anticipation builds, Modibo Sagnan remains hopeful that his commendable performances will translate into a coveted call-up, marking the initiation of a promising chapter in his international career with the Eagles of Mali.
