It will probably a private entry, he will pay for it so he won't take a seat from anyone else.

[N.O.T]

i would suggest not to take people who are not members of teams very seriously.

Maybe Citroen will 'introduce a new name' to the WRC team. Matton thinks there are too few drivers available to challenge at the top, so he may choose someone without much WR car experience.

maybe Sebastien Chardonnet, who knows...

It is interesting that last week Citroen held a big PR event, current WTCC and WRC drivers attended and drove a variety of cars, also the young drivers Koci, Lefebrve and Chardonnet were present and drove DS3 WRC cars. I am sure that data from the tests has been analysed and maybe something from this has prompted the 'lets promote a young driver' option. Plus a young driver will drive for free, whilst some of the other names previously mentioned linked with Citroen will want to be paid. I would guess its either Lefebrve or Chardonnet.

Lefebrve is very promising indeed but I think honestly to promote him in Citroen factory team is a little bit earlier. It will be better for him if he drives next season R5 machinery and learn all the rallies in the championship. As of Seb. Chardonnet I don't think he's fast enough to be in WRC car - just look his results this year.
