SM Caen invited Rabiou Sankamao for a trial. He was discovered through the Football Dreamz television programme, which is the sentence this entire archive exists in order to be able to write: a player nobody was looking at, watched by a French club.

An invitation is not a contract, and this record says invitation because that is what it was. What it is evidence of is that the pathway runs in the direction the format says it does.
