While Claude Puel has no plans to keep Sergi Palencia next season, the former FC Barcelona player said he has no plans to leave this summer only a year after his arrival.
After a year on loan with Girondins of Bordeaux, Sergi Palencia joinedAS Saint-Etienne coming from FC Barcelona last summer as part of a transfer estimated at 2M €. And if the hopes were high when the player formed within the Masia arrived at Greens, the beautiful promises quickly turned into deep disappointment. The 24-year-old right back has played very little this season, having taken part in only nine games with theASSE all competitions. Moreover, Goal Football Club recently announced that Sergi Palencia was no longer part of the plans for Claude Puel, who intends to deeply renew its workforce after the very delicate exercise experienced by the Forez club, which ended in 17th position in the ranking of League 1. However, if he recognizes his difficulties for his first season spent atASSE, Sergi Palencia said he wanted to stay at Saint Etienne next year to impose himself instead of leaving when he is under contract until June 2023.
“My idea is to continue fighting to impose myself on Saint-Etienne”
” VS‘is a difficult season because I haven’t played much. I may not have had all the opportunities I would have liked. When they gave it to me, I did the best I could. It is in these seasons that you learn. I have grown a lot mentally and my team spirit has also strengthened. I didn’t play much, but I tried to help my teammates from the outside. I am happy in Saint-Etienne. Personally and with my teammates. The group is wonderful. We will see what happens … But my idea is to continue to fight to impose myself on Saint-Etienne “, has explained Sergi Palencia at the Esportiu in comments reported by EnVertEtContreTous.fr.
