Captain's Dilemma: Metz Faces Uncertain Future Amid Udol's Refusal to Train | Sports-Games

MOSELLE, GRAND EST, JUL 8 – Matthieu Udol is seeking a transfer amid FC Metz’s recent takeover, reflecting uncertainty for players during the club's ownership transition this week.

  • Matthieu Udol, who leads Metz as team captain, declined to participate in training sessions and is seeking a departure from the Ligue 1 side following their recent promotion, as of early July 2025.
  • Udol's desire to depart follows a phone call with coach Stéphane Le Mignan, who remains uncertain about how the situation will develop.
  • Metz has supported Udol through injuries and faces budget constraints amid low TV revenue while preparing for its mid-August campaign starting at home to Strasbourg.
  • Le Mignan said, "It's not a pleasant situation, but we're here to move forward," and emphasized the importance of both sporting and financial perspectives.
  • Udol's refusal to train puts Metz's squad plans in jeopardy and may force the club to sell him despite his two-year contract remaining.
