Rayane Messi set to sign 3-year contract at Strasbourg | OneFootball

According to a report by Fabrice Hawkins, Rayane Messi (17) is undergoing a medical at RC Strasbourg Alsace where he is then expected to sign a three-year contract with the club. Messi is considered a highly exciting winger and one of the brightest talents to emerge from the Dijon FCO academy.

Strasbourg had been far from the only club interested in the winger with Olympique de Marseille also linked to Messi. However, Marseille had reportedly been put off by Dijon’s asking price with the club unwilling to spend on a player who has only made four professional appearances (although he was able to score a goal for Dijon during that time).

Rayane Messi close to a €1.5 million move

Marseille’s loss has been Strasbourg’s gain with the club reportedly about to secure his signature for a €1.5 million fee which also includes bonuses. The Strasbourg project has begun to focus heavily on youth and highly talented prospects and signing Messi is another step on that new journey for the Eastern club.
