Reports suggesting we were going to sign this guy have changed their tune!

Cardiff City have failed in talks with Gazélec Ajaccio centre back Roderić Filippi according to a number of sources.

Wednesday 29th June 2016

Filippi, who has only ever played for Gazélec, would have been back up for Sean Morrison, Matthew Connolly and Bruno Manga. The Frenchman has made 165 appearances for his club, scoring 16 goals.

Gazélec were relegated from Ligue 1 at the end of last season, finishing the season on just 37 points with only eight wins from 38 games.

The Bluebirds have been linked with many a centre half so far this transfer window, and Filippi looks as if he is another who is just a rumour.

Trollope has said he wants to bring in another defender, but he may wait until the club decide whether they want to sell Manga before firming up any replacements.

City will now need to find a back up to be part of the squad by the time the Bluebirds kick-off their pre-season campaign, which begins in less than a month as they travel to The New Lawn to face Forest Green Rovers.
