The Girondins de Bordeaux are further strengthening their defense. Bosnian Anel Ahmedhodzic (22 years old) is going to commit on loan, with a call option negotiated at 4 million euros, until the end of the season, according to information from our colleague from 20 minutes Clément Carpentier confirmed to France Bleu Gironde. The central defender comes from the Swedish club of Malmo. He will be the fourth and, normally, last recruit of the Navy and White for this winter transfer window. Ahmedhodžić is also international with Bosnia and Herzegovina (12 caps and one goal).
sturdy defender
The native of Malmö has played around 100 professional matches since the start of his young career in 2016. He took part in 18 European Cup matches (Champions League and Europa League) with the Swedish club, especially against Juventus Turin and Chelsea this season. This tall central defender (1.92m) comes strengthen the axis of the Girondins de Bordeaux, just like the Brazilian Marcelo. This sector has been suffering since the start of the season when the Marine et Blanc have the worst defense in the championship (53 goals conceded in 22 matches).
With the imminent departure of captain Laurent Koscielny, the pending situation of the Mozambican Edson Mexer and the slow acclimatization of the Norwegian Stian Grégersen, it seemed urgent to bring new blood to this position. One more nationality among the players of the Girondins de Bordeaux even if Anel Ahmedhodžić is the second Bosnian at the club with Vladimir Petkovic, the coach.
