My ESTAC mercato board is ready. Who would you keep or sell?
Troyes are back — with a network behind them
ESTAC Troyes return to Ligue 1 as champions of Ligue 2, having won the 2025-26 title with 67 points and a consistency that impressed all season. It ends a three-year absence from the elite, and the club has moved to consolidate rather than revolutionise: coach Stéphane Dumont, the promotion's architect, extended his contract, while Jocelyn Blanchard arrived as the new sporting director to drive the summer's work. Troyes's defining structural fact remains its ownership: the club belongs to City Football Group, the network built around Manchester City, and this window has already shown both sides of that arrangement. The painful side: star winger Mathys Detourbet, 19, was transferred to Manchester City for a fee reported around €25 million — and then loaned onward to AS Monaco, so Ligue 1 fans will see him anyway, just in different colours. Goalkeeper Nicolas Lemaître departed for Rennes, and top scorer Tawfik Bentayeb, whose 18 goals led Ligue 2, returned to his parent club at the end of his loan. The helpful side: the network provides recruits too, with young Australian goalkeeper Patrick Beach reported to be arriving from sister club Melbourne City. The window closes on 1 September; the top-flight test starts on 23 August.
Can a promoted squad minus its stars stay up?
Strip away the ownership story and Troyes face the oldest question in football: how much of a title-winning Ligue 2 squad is good enough for Ligue 1? History is brutal about this — promoted champions regularly discover that the players who dominated the second division are exactly the ones exposed a level up — and Troyes must answer it while already missing their most electric attacker, their first-choice goalkeeper and their top scorer from the promotion season. That makes this board less about celebration and more about cold-eyed evaluation, which is exactly what makes it fun. Which promotion heroes have obvious Ligue 1 quality, and which deserve loyalty but honestly project as depth? Where must Blanchard's recruitment deliver before 1 September — goalkeeper and striker look non-negotiable after the departures — and how much should come through the City Football Group pipeline versus the open market? Should Troyes chase experienced survival specialists, or trust the young, athletic identity that won the title? Dumont's continuity gives the project a clear head start over most promoted sides, and the CFG network gives it options most promoted sides lack. The rest is squad-building judgement — yours, in this case. Sort the real Troyes roster into keep, sell, loan or release, export your board, and show how you would keep the champions up.
