RC Strasbourg Alsace is set to make some player sales during the upcoming summer transfer window, as indicated by club president Marc Keller in a recent interview with DNA Sports.
Some transfers are already in the works. Emanuel Emegha will be moving to partner club Chelsea, a decision made public back in September. Meanwhile, Valentin Barco is also expected to switch to Stamford Bridge, having already announced his departure from Strasbourg on social media.

However, Keller has confirmed that additional sales are on the horizon. “In light of DNCG (the French football financial watchdog) and UEFA’s financial regulations, we will need to sell players,” he stated. The Alsace club is specifically targeting certain players for transfer during the off-season.
“This is part of being a club that aims for European competition. We will be more open to offers for players who have been with us for two or more years, who have previously drawn interest, and for whom we have turned down substantial offers,” Keller told DNA Sports.
Players like Diego Moreira (a noted target for Borussia Dortmund), Sébastien Nanasi (linked to Ajax), Guéla Doué, and Ismael Doukouré could be among those leaving. This summer is expected to bring a significant shake-up to the squad at the Meinau.
