Swiss international and LOSC defender Stephan Lichtsteiner denied Paris Saint-Germain’s offer. The offer was 50,000 euros per month with 500,000 euros for the signing. Not a bad deal for Stephan.

Footlille reports that Nordiste (the French word for someone from northern France) Jérémie Janot may transfer to Lille or Lens during this mercato. My guess is that either Northern side would be okay for the SPIDERMAN keeper (what a funny guy!). LOSC is in Ligue 1 so hopefully that can persuade him to join us. [...]
