Lille sign defender Romain Perraud
With the new Ligue 1 campaign just around the corner, Lille OSC have added some experience to their backline. On Friday, the club announced the signing of left-back Romain Perraud (27) from Real Betis. Perraud joins Les Dogues after just one season in Spain, signing a three-year contract with the club. His last stop in France was during the 2023-24 season when he was loaned to OGC Nice from English side Southampton, making 19 Ligue 1 appearances for Les Aiglons that season. The Toulouse-born defender made nearly 50 appearances in the Premier League with the Saints before being loaned to Nice, his original senior club, with an option to buy. Rather than sticking around though, Perraud signed for Betis in June 2024 and was a part of the team that finished as UEFA Europa Conference League runners-up last season. One of the best XI players at the Toulon Tournament in 2018, Perraud also played two seasons in the French top-flight for Stade Brestois 29. GFFN | Joel Lefevre

Lille reach agreement with Real Betis for Romain Perraud
According to a report from Foot Mercato and confirmed by L'Équipe, Lille OSC reached an agreement last night to sign Romain Perraud (27) from Real Betis for €3.5m, including bonuses. This is the same amount that the Spanish club paid for the left-back last summer when they signed him from Southampton FC on a contract lasting until 2029. Perraud is reportedly expected to arrive in Lille today and will travel with the squad for tomorrow's preseason friendly against West Ham United at the London Stadium. His arrival marks the end of Lille's hunt for a new starting left-back, which had been a priority for the club following the departures of Gabriel Gudmundsson, Mitchel Bakker, and Ismaily. Lille had been considering a move for David Møller Wolfe (23). However, they were unable to reach an agreement with AZ Alkmaar, and instead, the left-back moved to the Premier League with Wolverhampton Wanderers. GFFN | Nick Hartland
