Opoku was a target for the Maroons after a good campaign in the Ligue 1 whiles on loan at Amiens SC
French Ligue 1 side FC Metz have dropped their interest in Ghana defender Nicholas Opoku following the acquisition of long time target Kiki Kouyate.
Metz announced the signing of the Malian international centre-back on Tuesday, leaving Troyes after a year and a half in, on a 4-year deal.
Opoku was a target for the Maroons after a good campaign in the Ligue 1 whiles on loan at Amiens SC.
However, following the relegation of Amiens the centre back returned to parent club Udinese.
Metz were interested in making a loan switch for the Ghanaian, after struggling to meet the initial asking price of Kiki Kouyate.
But the club managed to make funds available to meet the 4 million Euros that was later asked.
