Foot – Mercato – ASSE
In conflict with his management, Stéphane Ruffier, whose contract runs until June 2021, does not intend to make any gift to ASSE and could honor his contract to the end, and thus leave free in a year.
The situation between Stéphane Ruffier and theAS Saint-Etienne has it reached a point of no return? It is not impossible. And for good reason, following the choice of Claude Puel to do without the services of its porter, Patrick Glanz, agent of Stéphane Ruffier, did not fail to publicly attack the Stéphane leadership, which created enormous tensions. Consequently, the former Monegasque may have played his last meeting under the colors of the Greens on February 16 in Brest. A hypothesis that is gaining momentum since in its strategy of rejuvenating its workforce, Claude Puel don’t count on Stéphane Ruffier for next season. But the 33-year-old doorman does not intend to let it go.
Ruffier intends to go to the end of his contract
Indeed, as explained The team, although Claude Puel intends to do Jessy Moulin its holder next season, Stéphane Ruffier, under contract until June 2021 withASSE does not intend to facilitate things. Thus, in private, the former Monegasque would ensure that he intends to honor his last contract year. In other words, Stéphane Ruffier has no intention of being sold this summer or of negotiating a possible breach of contract. Two situations that would plumb theAS Saint-Etienne. In financial difficulties, the Forez club would like to recover a transfer fee with the sale of its porter or at least save his salary, one of the highest in the locker room. It remains to be seen how he will react if a great opportunity arises this summer. Stéphane Ruffier, who turns 34 in September, can he refuse one last big challenge? Hard to say, but one thing is for sure, close to Flavio Roma since going toAS Monaco, the tricolor doorman would not be insensitive to an adventure in Serie A.
