ASSE transfer VAFC

ASSE is prospecting in Ligue 2 for the reinforcement of a goalkeeper.

With all the movements of goalkeepers who are preparing for Ligue 1 (Saint-Etienne, Nîmes, Montpellier, Angers, to name just one floor on the question of potters), a boulevard that leads to the elite s offer maybe to Jérôme Prior. Again for him who, at 24, left relaunch in Ligue 2 at Valenciennes, after having left the Girondins de Bordeaux who formed him a little prematurely. According to several media including La Voix du Nord, ASSE would get it right, to replace Stéphane Ruffier, who no longer has his coach, Claude Puel.

Prior to replace Ruffier at ASSE?

Free party in the North, after termination of his contract with the club with the scapular, Prior cost nothing to the VAFC, which will derive the financial benefits from the good season of the player, in the Valencian jersey. Six months before his departure from Bordeaux, he was valued at nearly 2 million euros on the transfer market. He even flirted with the 3 million euros, after an encouraging start with the Girondins, but losing his place, then coming down from a division last fall, his rating dropped to nearly today, from the million of euros estimated at best, and for Transfermarkt, a little below.

VAFC goalkeeper has only one year left

Still, the goalkeeper market is specific and as we said above, moving on this transfer window, this strengthens competition and raises the possible bids for it. However, Jérôme Prior only has one contractual season between now and the expiration of his own, on June 30, 2021. His salary is not known, except that he is not in the top 20 of the best paid players of the Ligue 2 season, delivered by France Football. This assumes that he is paid less than 20,000 euros gross monthly, more than three times less than the average of the wardrobe in Saint-Etienne.
