Lecce are poised to strengthen their defensive lineup with the imminent arrival of French defender Frederic Guilbert. The 30-year-old is expected in the city tomorrow to undergo medical examinations, marking the final step before officially signing with the Giallorossi.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Guilbert, who becomes a free agent after his contract with Strasbourg expired, is set to join Lecce on a two-year deal with an option for a third year. This move comes as a swift response from the club to replace the departing Gendrey.
The experienced defender brings a wealth of knowledge from his time in both French and English football. His versatility and international experience are expected to be valuable assets for coach Luca Gotti as he looks to solidify Lecce’s defense for the upcoming season.
Guilbert’s arrival represents a significant reinforcement for Lecce’s backline. His ability to play in multiple defensive positions could prove crucial as the team aims to improve their defensive record in Serie A.
