Seduced by the performances of the winger this season, the Betis Sville would like to steal Denis Bouanga from AS Saint-Etienne. But despite the mutual interest of the player, the financial positions of the two clubs are far too distant to reach an agreement soon.
Bouanga is interested in Betis Sville.
With 10 goals and 3 assists in 26 Ligue 1 matches this season, Denis Bouanga has had a great start with ASSaint-Etienne. The 25-year-old forward has established himself as the number one offensive asset of the Greens who, without shining, ensured their maintenance by finishing 17th in the championship after the final interruption of the competition and the freezing of the classification on the 28th day.
Betis wants Bouanga!
With its convincing services, the former Nmois has grown in value and stirs up lusts. In Spain in particular, according to the Andalusian daily Estadio Deportivo on Tuesday, Betis Sville considers the Gabonese winger as a privileged track for the next summer transfer window. Fond of Ligue 1 talents, witness the recent passage of ex-Parisian Giovani Lo Celso (today Tottenham) or the presence of former Lyonnais and RmoisNabil Fekir and Assa Mandi, the Verdiblancos are really thinking of attracting the Stphanois this summer.
Problem, when Bouanga shows interest in such a challenge, ASSE and Betis do not seem close to finding an agreement for the transfer. Indeed, according to the Spanish media, the Svillans only intend to offer 10 million euros, when Saint-Etienne expects double, or 20 M €.
ASSE hopes for great added value
Too distant positions which, for the time being, make an agreement impossible … Admittedly, the Greens could revise their requirements downwards but, for the moment, the Forez club has everything to set the bar high. Because still young, decisive and linked to ASSE until 2023, Bouanga has great potential.
In addition, Lille and Rennes have also shown an interest in the former Nmois. Therefore, the Loire team has no reason to sell off its attack leader who, recruited for € 4.5 million last year, could bring a nice gain. The Svillans have warned: it will not be necessary to work on the means for Bouanga!
