In August 2019, Saint-Etienne expected to make the very big transfer window by offering the Peruvian international Miguel Trauco for only 1 ME from Flamengo.
At the time, the Greens had high hopes for the arrival of Miguel Trauco, who had just been voted best left side of the Copa America thanks to his remarkable performances with Peru. But against all expectations, the 27-year-old defender did not really meet expectations in Saint-Etienne with only 19 games played (1 goal, 2 assists). Claude Puel not having been transcended by the performances of Miguel Trauco in Forez, his departure is possible during the next transfer window according to But.
And despite a delicate first experience in Europe, the Peruvian international has a very good rating on the transfer market since the media reveals that Miguel Trauco has many requests, mainly in Spain and Germany, two ultra-offensive championships whose characteristics would probably fit perfectly with those of the defender of ASSE. Under contract with the Greens until June 2022, Miguel Trauco was tracked by many clubs at the time of his signing in Forez since Schalke, Mallorca, Besiktas but also Amiens and Bordeaux in France were interested in his arrival. It now remains to be seen which clubs will be interested and above all, what will be the amount claimed by Bernard Caïazzo and by Roland Romeyer for the Peruvian, estimated at around 2 ME by the specialized site Transfermarkt. Surely, this is not a big gain that awaits Saint-Etienne in this matter …
