Fifteenth in Ligue 1, promoted Metz have a relatively young squad. That's why the club's directors want to bring in new blood with experienced players, especially in midfield. According to the French press, they have three names on their shortlist. The Congolese Gaël Kakuta of Amiens, currently at the AFCON 2023 with DR Congo. Moroccan Younès Belhanda, who has terminated his contract with Adana Demirspor, is also targeted, as is Frenchman Yann M'Vila.
