Modibo Sagnan is a 23-year-old central defender who is coveted by many clubs. Nevertheless, he is determined to come to FC Utrecht, enthusiastic as he is about the plans that coach Henk Fraser has there. There is talk of a rental option with an option to buy.
FC Utrecht could use reinforcements in the back line now that Tommy St Jago and Ramon Hendriks, picked up at Feyenoord, are struggling with injuries. Signing Sagnan from Real Sociedad would be a stunt in that sense as he has the choice of clubs.
