Despite the difficult times, ASSE would have shown character by refusing to sell one of its nuggets for 18 million euros. The Claude Puel effect, closed to the idea of being stripped at low prices of its best players, may be taking hold at the club, which had not hesitated to sell Obameyang for € 13m.
ASSE: € 18m from AC Milan for Wesley Fofana
ASSE have reportedly received a € 18m offer from AC Milan for young defender Wesley Fofana. But the Greens would not have responded favorably to this sizable offer. The revelation is made by Mohamed Toubache-Ter, on social networks. He mentioned an offensive by the Milanese “to recruit center-back Saint-Étienne”. The source adds that the Lombard club’s proposal was “refused” by Sainté who “wants 30 M €”. Nevertheless, the Rossonerri would not intend to stop there. According to the Insider, they intend to come back to find an agreement with ASSE. “AC Milan are planning to make 3 offers,” he announced on his Twitter account. Note that Sainté does not want to transfer Wesley Fofana this summer. The club want him to continue his progression in Forez after being revealed only last season. However, an offer of around € 30m would push ASSE coach Claude Puel to be more flexible on the subject.
Wesley Fofana in the sights of big clubs
Wesley Fofana (19) was the revelation of Saint-Etienne last season. Launched by Claude Puel in the professional team, he totaled 17 appearances, including 12 in Ligue 1. Better still, he had started 11 times in the league. With his performances, As Saint-Etienne center-back had caught the attention of big European teams, including Arsenal, Leicester City, Everton and of course AC Milan. In France, AS Monaco are interested in the services of the AS Saint-Étienne player. Wesley Fofana is under contract until June 2024.
