To replace Sylla?

The player, who has played 74 matches in the North American League in five years, also has several offers in Portugal and another from Venice, relegated to Serie B. If he chooses Toulouse, João Moutinho could succeed Issiaga Sylla ( 28 years old / contract until 2023), holder of the post in Ligue 2 last season but that the club will not retain in the event of an interesting offer.
