Rumors: French star on his way to Magdeburg

RT Handball has dropped a real transfer bomb on Instagram. According to reports, French left back Thibaud Briet is on his way to newly crowned German champions SC Magdeburg.

Standing over 200 cm tall, Briet has been a powerful presence in the backcourt for Nantes. With strong qualities at both ends of the court, he has been a key player for both Nantes and the French national team in recent seasons. Now, it looks like the 26-year-old could be ready to take the next step in his career.

RT Handball reports that the left back is set to join powerhouse Magdeburg, who only days ago secured the Bundesliga title. The move would see yet another star added to an already stacked backcourt.

Magdeburg have been one of, if not the best, team in the world this season. With the league title already secured, the club is now preparing for the EHF Champions League Final Four. And it looks like the side will remain more than competitive in the coming years, with new stars already lining up to join.
