A report from L'Équipe covers the transfer situation of Ismaël Doukouré, a 23-year-old French centre-back at Strasbourg. The report states that although Doukouré, who has both French and Ivorian nationality, had permission from Strasbourg to find a new club, he remained with the team because no satisfactory offer was made. Rennes was considered the most interested party during the transfer window, but their bid was significantly lower than the asking price of over €20 million set by Strasbourg's decision-makers. The defender has one cap for the France U23 team and is under contract until 2028. He joined Strasbourg from Valenciennes in January 2022 for a fee of €1.5 million, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €20.00m.
