As usual, the Gym is one of the French clubs shaking up the winter transfer market. Even though the Azur board initially focused on departures, a first arrival should be officially announced in the coming hours.
It is the Burundian international and versatile player from Istanbul Başakşehir, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, who should soon be arriving on the Côte d’Azur for a fee of approximately 12 million euros. According to several sources, his medical examination is scheduled for this Tuesday, and he has already chosen number 55.
A central defender by training, Ndayishimiye also has the ability to play in midfield in a defensive or box-to-box role. This season with the Istanbul club, he has already scored 7 goals in 30 appearances.
With this transfer, the Burundian numerically replaces Mario Lemina, who returned to England a few days ago, and positions himself as Dante’s future successor.
