AS Monaco
"Grazie Andrea" as stated in the official website. Andrea Raggi has officially left Monaco after 7 years and 230 appearances in all competitions including Ligue 2 and Champions' League. Praised for his leadership and agressive man-marking.
Benjamin Lecomte (GK) and Ruben Aguilar (RB) reportedly reached a contractual agreement to join the club. Monaco and Montpellier have yet to reach an agreement. Could be a good deal for the red & white. Lecomte was called up last year with the national team while Aguilar has been one of the best right back through the last 2 seasons. Both Montpellierains helped the club to secure a 6th position.

Olympique de Marseille
Only transfer speculations up to now. L'OM transfer window has been very quiet due to a poor last season (out of European competition after a 5th place) and financial issues.

AS Saint-Étienne
The William Saliba transfer saga is still ongoing. It was reported on June 27th that Saint-Étienne and Arsenal are in advanced talks but no agreement reached. In the meantime Tottenham are likely to make an offer in the coming hours.

OGC Nice
Nice is known for being the best-run football club in Ligue 1 in recent years. Well, soon it may also be one of the richest as Britain’s wealthiest man Jim Ratcliffe just bought the club for 100M€. And to follow up with good news, former president Rivère and managing director Fournier are back to business.
