The Leipzig Opportunity

Mohamed Simakan, his gaze turned towards City then… the Blues?
The Leipzig defender is having a high-flying season in Germany to the point of being, today, watched by the staff of the France team. If he continues on this path, he can imagine joining the vice-world champions by the end of 2023.
