The ASSE – AS Saint-Etienne and his trainer Claude Puel are well riveted on the Mercato summer. If for the time being, Greens of St Etienne have already formalized a few arrivals such as Jean-Philippe Krasso (Epinal) or Setigui Karamoko (Béziers), several players from Saint-Etienne could leave the ASSE during the Mercato as Stéphane Ruffier, Loïc Perrin, Yohan Cabaye, Wahbi Khazri or Denis Bouanga (targeted by Rennais Stadium and the LOSC).
However, Claude Puel and the AS Saint-Etienne may soon act a transfer estimated at € 7M with the sale of Harold Moukoudi at Middlesbrough !
Indeed, recruited by the ASSE last summer at Mercato coming from HAC – Le Havre AC, Harold Moukoudi (22) never really had a chance with Greens of St Etienne but the latter would have convinced the coach to Middlesbourgh to recruit him permanently.
Estimated at € 3.2 million on the specialized Transfermarkt site, Harold Moukoudi could bring 7M € to AS Saint-Etienne with his transfer during Mercato according to the English media.
