Another surprise could be recorded in the Mercato ASSE of this summer. After the departure of Franck Honorat and Vagner Dias, another player could leave the club in the coming days, not being part of Claude Puel’s plans.
Mercato ASSE: What destination for Miguel Trauco
Miguel Trauco, the Peruvian defender of ASSE (27), author of 24 games and 1 goal, could leave the club in this summer transfer window. Claude Puel does not include it in the new project he is currently implementing at AS Saint-Étienne. The Stéphane technician would like to replace him with one of his targets Dimitrios Giannoulis from PAOK Thessaloniki, according to information from Manu Lonjon. The news reporter AS Saint-Etienne indicates that club management would like to include Miguel Trauco in a trade-in transaction against Dimitrios Giannoulis.
Mercato ASSE: Trauco towards Olympiakos?
If, however, this proposal does not win the approval of PAOK Thessaloniki leaders, Trauco’s future at ASSE would still be threatened. The club no longer counts on him and could, as a last resort, accept the offer of Olympiakos which he already has, according to Mohamed Toubache-Ter. Under contract with ASSE until June 2022, Miguel Trauco has lost value in recent months. It is only estimated at 1.6 million euros, according to Transfertmarkt. The amount of the Olympiakos offer has not yet filtered, but the transfer of the player to this club should the plan fail, Dimitrios Giannoulis, should not delay.
Mercato ASSE: Claude Puel and his vision of the future
Claude Puel prioritize talented young players. He wants to set up a team of young people capable of evolving together under the Stéphane colors for many years. This plan could however come up against market realities in the event of successive revelations of quality players. If nuggets manage to achieve very good seasons at the Forez club, the big clubs should get on their heels with offers difficult to refuse for the management of the club, which can strongly frustrate Claude Puel’s plans.
