FC Metz Renews Pursuit of Colombian Defender Cristian Devenish

FC Metz has revived its efforts to sign Colombian defender Cristian Devenish (25) from Portuguese second-division club AVS, after initial talks stalled due to AVS's increased demands for a future sell-on clause. Both clubs have now moved closer to an agreement, with a transfer fee estimated at €1 million. Devenish is expected to travel to Metz this week and sign a three-year contract. The move comes as Metz looks to bolster its defense amid uncertainty over Michel Mboula's future and potential loans for Abdoulaye Nassoko and Adam Marchal. Devenish previously visited Metz and was present on the sidelines during a friendly match against Seraing on July 17, making him familiar with the club.
