West Brom: Cedric Kipre transfer twist emerges amid contract talks
West Brom have been handed more of a chance to retain the services of Cedric Kipre due to the completed takeover, according to Football League World.
The report claims [2 March] that there is a real chance of him leaving in the summer as there’s understood to be a high demand to secure the 27-year-old’s signature.
His contract runs out in the summer and signing him on a free transfer has been described as a “coup” for certain clubs.
West Brom must keep hold of Kipre
Kipre’s impending contract expiration presents a significant dilemma for West Brom and Carlos Corberan.
The Frenchman has been a stalwart at the heart of the defence, showcasing his commanding presence and no-nonsense approach, earning admiration from both fans and pundits alike.
His consistent performances in 34 league games underline his importance to Corberan’s side.
Corberan undoubtedly recognises Kipre’s value to the team, not just in terms of on-field contributions but also as a leader and a reliable presence in the squad.
That’s the reason why contract talks are ongoing with the 27-year-old as the hierarchy wants him to stay.
Retaining the centre-back’s services would provide stability to the backline and maintain continuity within the team, especially if the Baggies secure promotion.
However, the challenge lies in convincing Kipre to stay, especially with the lure of potentially lucrative offers elsewhere so it remains to be seen what the future holds.
