According to Le Burry Republican, a press conference will be held on Wednesday in Bourges, a small town in central France, where the Senegalese talisman will be confirmed as Bourges Foot 18's new owner.
This will put an end to three years of negotiations been the 2022 Ballon d'Or runner-up and Cheikh Sylla, the current president of Bourges Foot 18. Sylla became president of the club after a merger with Bourges 18, but it seems he will not hold the position as currently constituted for much longer.

The 2022 Africa Cup of Nations winner has also had conversations with the town's mayor and originator of the club's merger, Yann Galut, in order to secure his backing over the proposed takeover of the side.
