Lille reach agreement with Real Betis for Romain Perraud | OneFootball

According to a report from Foot Mercato and confirmed by L’Équipe, Lille OSC reached an agreement last night to sign Romain Perraud (27) from Real Betis for €3.5m, including bonuses. This is the same amount that the Spanish club paid for the left-back last summer when they signed him from Southampton FC on a contract lasting until 2029.

Perraud is reportedly expected to arrive in Lille today and will travel with the squad for tomorrow’s preseason friendly against West Ham United at the London Stadium. His arrival marks the end of Lille’s hunt for a new starting left-back, which had been a priority for the club following the departures of Gabriel Gudmundsson, Mitchel Bakker, and Ismaily.

Lille had been considering a move for David Møller Wolfe (23). However, they were unable to reach an agreement with AZ Alkmaar, and instead, the left-back moved to the Premier League with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
