Very discreet on the transfer market until Friday, FC Lorient has just formalized its first recruit of the summer. Defender Igor Silva (24) has signed up with Les Merlus until 2026. The amount of the transaction has not been communicated but according to L’Équipe it should be around 2.5 million euros. From Osijek (1st Croatian div), the right side, passed by AEK Larnaca (1st Cypriot div) and Olympiakos Piraeus (1st Greek div) has already played more than a hundred matches in professional. It should probably be integrated as the right piston of Christophe Pelissier’s 3-5-2 system. “Igor is a dynamic element, engaged and involved defensively but who is also carried on the offensive. Igor can play very well in a four or five defense. Through his experience in various European championships, he will be able to bring us his experience and his vista which characterize South American players, ”the Lorient coach enthuses on the club’s website.
