Stade de Reims has completed a record transfer by selling its goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen to Newcastle for £28.5m. The 20-year-old goalkeeper has become the most expensive player in Ligue 2 history. According to Jean-Pierre Caillot, the president of the French club, this transfer will bring in a considerable amount of money for Stade de Reims. Ewen Jaouen has signed a 4-year contract with the English Premier League club. He will be in competition with Nick Pope, Newcastle's first-choice goalkeeper. Stade de Reims has already sold Valentin Atangana to Al-Ahli for £25m and Patrick Zabi to Paris FC for the same amount. The French club now holds the top three spots for the most expensive sales in Ligue 2 history. And with this transfer, Stade de Reims shows its ability to develop and sell high-level players. But the club now needs to find a replacement for Ewen Jaouen for the next season. So Stade de Reims will have to be active in the transfer market this summer. Ewen Jaouen's transfer is a significant blow to the club, but it also provides an opportunity for other players to step up. The club's fans will be eager to see how the team will perform without its star goalkeeper. Jean-Pierre Caillot has stated that the club will use the money from the transfer to invest in new players and improve the team's infrastructure.
