Loïc Féry extinguishes the fire on the transfer of Dango Ouatarra

Brilliant since the start of the season with Lorient, with whom he had scored 6 goals and provided 5 assists in Ligue 1, Dango Ouatarra joined England and Bournemouth this winter for the generous sum of €27.5 million. A record transfer for the Breton club, but not to the taste of many supporters. Indeed, the 20-year-old Burkinabe has actually joined the club of FCL’s new minority shareholder, Bill Foley, something to alert many of the club’s followers. In a press release published this Sunday, Loïc Féry, the president of the Morbihan club, tried to smother the fire.

“I conceive that the timing generates the amalgam. The transfer of Dango is singled out, as if this sale meant that we gave up all ambition and as if our player had signed at Bournemouth under duress. Dango will be able to express why he and his agent made this choice rather than another. Even if FC Lorient opens the door to a departure, I prefer to conclude with the club which offered us the best offer, the amount of which will allow us to better arm our workforce. (…) The partnership with our new shareholder from the United States seems demonized. However, his arrival opens doors for us without closing those of our management autonomy and without compromising our values ​​or our identity.can we read in the communicated. In addition to Ouattara, Lorient could also lose Terem Moffi this winter, much courted by West Ham but also Nice.
