Stéphane Ruffier intends to stay at ASSE next season even while being on the bench.
He doesn’t want to leave the club! Stéphane Ruffier will stay in Saint-Etienne next season. The doorman will be the backing for Jessy Moulin, the club’s new number 1 since the end of last season. A very complex situation for the 35-year-old goalkeeper. With his salary of 2.5 million euros per year, Ruffier still has a year of contract with the Greens.
“Ruffier will stay. He will not leave. But he will never play again. I don’t think he’ll play again with Puel ” said Bernard Lions, journalist for L’Equipe, in the Sainté Inside podcast. “The club shoots itself two balls: one sportingly, the other financially. Ruffier costs 2.5 ME per year. He has one year left on his contract. It will not remain but as # 2. He will refuse to be the lining of his lining. You have to be careful to see what it costs to shoot a guy like him ”.
