When Pascal Feindouno chose to
move to Al-Saad last year, the Guinea skipper was said to have chosen money over
sporting matters, but he has now indicated his willingness to return to Ligue 1.
In an interview with French newspaper Le Parisien, the ex-Bordeaux player spoke of interest from Monaco and Stade Rennais.
"It has been confirmed to me by my agents that Rennes and Monaco were interested, but I haven't had direct contact with those clubs yet," he said. "I really want to come back to the Ligue 1 and those are great clubs that have put me on their wish lists.
"But the hardest part will be the financial aspect of it all since they will have to come to an agreement with the people at Al-Saad, who bought me for €8 million. If it proves possible, I will happily come back to Ligue 1."
What Feindouno may have forgotten is that he will have to make a financial sacrifice as his current wages would make him one of the five highest paid players in Le Championnat, and it is unlikely that either Monaco or Rennes could pay him the money he's earned this year.
Guinea are currently third in their World Cup qualifying group, lagging behind Burkina Faso and Cote d'Ivoire. However, they are close to getting one of the three qualifying spots for next year's African Cup of Nations in Angola as the fourth team in the group is Malawi, a country they recently beat in June.
