Lille consider move for former Metz goalkeeper | OneFootball

There could be a goalkeeper merry-go-round in Ligue 1 this summer with multiple clubs in the market for new No.1s and backup shotstoppers.

As reported by L’Équipe, FC Metz are in talks to sign Maxime Dupé (32) from OGC Nice. The experienced Frenchman has just one year remaining on his deal with Le Gym, who are open to a departure. There, he would replace Arnaud Bodart (27), who is now being linked with a move to Lille OSC, where he would be the understudy to Lucas Chevalier.

Lille are looking to replace Vito Mannone, who left the club following the expiry of his deal at the end of last season. As per L’Équipe, LOSC could turn to Bodart, who is coming off the back of a short stint at Metz. The Belgian would, therefore, arrive on a free transfer.

The No.1 at Lille, Lucas Chevalier, is not certain to remain at the club either. His future is in large part dependent on Gianluigi Donnarumma and whether he signs a contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain.
