Carrasso Agrees to Two-Year Deal With Sporting CP

Ex-Bordeaux man Cédric Carrasso has confirmed a two-year deal to join Sporting Libson, according to report from A Bola.

After talks to stay with Bordeaux broke down, the French goalkeeper decided to look for opportunities outside of his homeland and agreed to terms with the Lisbon-based club.

The 35-year-old Carrasso stated to Canal Plus that he rejected offers from Turkey, France and from Switzerland before deciding to pack his bags for Portugal.

However, he also said that there are some “differences with businessmen” about his contract and that he is “still waiting.”

Since starting his career with Olympique de Marseille in 2001, Carrasso has had a distinguished career playing for Crystal Palace, Guingamp in Ligue 2 and Toulouse.

Carrasso’s big break came when he joined Bordeaux in 2009. Since then, the French goalkeeper has been the number one man between the sticks for Les Girondins.

In total, he has amassed 314 appearances for the club and won the Trophée des Champions in 2009 as well as the Coupe de France in 2013.
