Strasbourg Set Steep Price for Diego Moreira Amid Atalanta and Premier League Interest

RC Strasbourg want to keep Diego Moreira this summer, making clear they will only look at offers above €30 million as interest from top clubs heats up.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Atalanta and some Premier League teams are very interested in Diego Moreira after his great season with Strasbourg in Ligue 1. Reports say Strasbourg do not want to sell the 20-year-old for the often mentioned €20 million, saying any bid they accept must be more than €30 million. Moreira moved to Strasbourg last August after time with Benfica, Chelsea, and Lyon, and quickly became a key player there. He made a big mark this year, getting his first senior call-up for Belgium and helping Strasbourg earn a spot in the Europa Conference League.

PLAYER AND CLUB PERFORMANCE IN FOCUS

This season, Moreira’s flexibility and play—often as a left-back and winger—were key in Strasbourg’s strong Ligue 1 run and reaching Europe. He was ‘Man of the Match’ eight times and played big minutes in both defense and attack. Strasbourg, under coach Liam Rosenior, ended the year well, avoiding relegation and earning a spot in Europe next season, after finishing 7th in Ligue 1 last season. Atalanta also had a good Serie A season and want to get stronger as they prepare for European games too. Premier League clubs, drawn by Moreira’s age and promise, are watching closely.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MOREIRA AND STRASBOURG?

Strasbourg stand strong: unless a club makes a bid higher than €30 million, Moreira will stay another year. Their first Europa Conference League match is in late July, leaving little time to change the team if Moreira goes. Atalanta, managing interest in other targets and team uncertainties, may need quick action as they face off with Premier League teams for signings. With the transfer market heating up, everyone’s watching Strasbourg’s next steps and Moreira’s near future in European football.
