Big news coming from France says RC Strasbourg is about to complete a mouthwatering deal to bring highly-rated 17-year-old winger Rayane Messi to the club.
Reports in France said Messi is currently undergoing a medical examination at Strasbourg and is expected to sign a three-year contract upon completion.
Messi, a standout talent from the Dijon FCO academy, has garnered significant attention for his impressive performances at a young age.
Despite making only four professional appearances for Dijon, in which he scored a goal, his potential has made him a sought-after prospect in the transfer market.
Strasbourg managed to secure Messi’s signature, beating out competition from several clubs, including Olympique de Marseille.
Marseille, although initially interested, reportedly backed out due to Dijon’s asking price, given Messi’s limited professional experience.
This opened the door for Strasbourg, who signed the talented winger for a reported fee of €1.5 million, including bonuses.
