Report Geubbels targeted by Lecce with €5.5m offer | OneFootball

According to reports in France, Lecce have made an offer worth €5.5m to sign St. Gallen striker Willem Geubbels.

The versatile forward turns 24 next month and can play as a centre-forward, on the right or left of a trident attack.

This means he could be used alongside new signing Francesco Camarda, who is on loan from Milan.

Footmercato claim that Lecce are the favourites to sign Geubbels and have put forward a proposal that is over €5m.

He has been linked with several other Serie A sides, including Udinese, Parma and Hellas Verona, but Lecce appear to be very determined.

A product of the Olympique Lyonnais youth academy, he was sold to AS Monaco in 2018 for €20m.

However, his career rather petered out due to injuries, followed by the loan to FC Nantes and eventual free transfer to St. Gallen in January 2023.

Geubbels scored 28 goals in 93 games for the Swiss team, along with eight assists.
