Bordeaux attempt to sign Fabian Schär

According to L’Équipe, Bordeaux have in recent hours attempted to sign Swiss international central defender Fabian Schär from Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim are asking for €6m, according to the report, which would be too much as far as les Girondins are concerned.

Bordeaux made a loan with option to buy offer for the Swiss defender, which was rejected by Hoffenheim.

FCGB will have to look at other options, almost certainly.
