Strasbourg have agreed with Reims on the transfer of 19-year-old midfielder Valentin Atangana. The young French player will join Strasbourg for €15 million plus extra fees. He will soon have his medical tests and complete the final paperwork.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Strasbourg acted quickly to get Atangana after reaching a fee agreement with Reims. The midfielder had his medical in Strasbourg today before signing with the team. Atangana was important for Reims last season, playing 27 Ligue 1 games and scoring two goals. Reims finished 12th last season, while Strasbourg ended 7th, just three points behind. According to reports, Strasbourg aims for a higher finish in Ligue 1 this season, hoping that adding Atangana will help them improve after a tough season.

BIG MOVE FOR ATANGANA AND STRASBOURG

Atangana is a top young prospect in France. He is known for his energy, passing, and calmness under pressure. Strasbourg want new talent to strengthen their team for the new Ligue 1 season and aim to improve upon their 7th place finish last season. They hope that Atangana’s signing will aid them in finishing in the top half. The club will start their Ligue 1 season next week against Monaco, who finished 3rd last season. Strasbourg are determined to beat mid-table rivals and do better than last season’s 7th place.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

After his medical and signing, Valentin Atangana is expected to join Strasbourg’s team quickly. The next game is against Brondby in the Conference League playoffs, and Atangana may play if registered in time. Strasbourg want an immediate impact from him as they aim for a strong start. Fans and coaches will watch closely to see if Atangana can help Strasbourg move up the table and aim for European football in the coming months. As per reports, Strasbourg will compete in the Europa Conference League next season, adding to the pressure for a strong showing this time around.
