In their search for a replacement for Reunionese player Benoît Trémoulinas, who departed for Dynamo Kiev, Bordeaux has reportedly targeted Cheick M’Bengue. Yesterday, sports daily L’Equipe suggested a potential move for the Senegalese player to Bordeaux, indicating that an agreement might be reached soon between the club and the Toulouse player, who is under contract until 2014. The report even mentioned a rumored offer of 3.5 million euros for the Franco-Senegalese left-back.
However, according to La Dépêche du Midi, as relayed by Allertfc.fr, Bordeaux did make contact with Olivier Sadran, the president of Toulouse, about the 24-year-old player. Still, the phone call occurred around ten days ago, and the negotiations have not progressed since then. The latest update suggests that Toulouse is holding out for 5 million euros to sell M’Bengue, indicating that there may be further discussions and potential developments in the transfer saga.
