Saïdou Sow, a 23-year-old Guinean and French central defender, is leaving Strasbourg and has been officially loaned to L2 club Clermont until June 30, 2026. Sow had not appeared for the first team this season, making two appearances for the reserve side in National 3, and his career was not relaunched at Racing despite the recent coaching change in which Gary O'Neil replaced Liam Rosenior. The player is progressively returning to competition after a ruptured cruciate ligament in his knee. A full international for Guinea, Sow has 28 caps and one goal. His contract with his parent club, RC Strasbourg Alsace, runs until June 30, 2028. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €3.00m.
