Verona joins the race for Makengo: Lecce and Empoli also join the former Udinese team

He is nostalgic for Italian football Jean-Victor Makengo. The former Udinese midfielder’s adventure in France did not go according to his expectations. In fact, the player wore the Lorient shirt for the last year and, both from a team and personal point of view, it was not a positive season. The orange team was relegated to Ligue 2 while he collected many stands and many benches, only taking the field on 12 occasions between the championship and the French Cup.

Possible return
Little, too little. The hypothesis is obviously a transfer in the next transfer window and the possibility of returning to our Serie A is increasingly possible. There would be the eyes of three clubs on him who are intent on strengthening their midfield with a player who had made 72 appearances for Juventus with one goal and four assists.

Three teams
There has been interest in the French player from Empoli and Lecce for some time while now there would also have been an inclusion, reports today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, also from Hellas Verona. Makengo is still linked to Lorient with a contract that expires in 2027 but in the event of the right offer he could still leave and take charge of Italy and Serie A again.
