William Saliba could finally play the final of the Coupe de France.
William Saliba (19) could soon find a smile! The one lost when the central defender learned that he would not be playing the Coupe de France final with AS Saint-Etienne.
Finally, the Frenchman should face Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade de France on July 24 thanks to a completely unexpected twist.
Tensions ease
Because given the recent changes between ASSE and Arsenal, this was really not won. The Greens, after several weeks of discussions, could not convince the Gunners to extend the loan from Saliba until this meeting. Hence the tackles changed in offensive releases.
On the one hand, Saint-Etienne believed that the Premier League resident, who wanted to follow the physical condition of his player very closely, claimed absolutely unacceptable sports and financial conditions . And on the other hand, the English refused to be financially disadvantaged and were not ready to risk the well-being of an Arsenal player . So we thought the file was closed. But according to L’Equipe, the disappointment displayed by Saliba’s arrival in London prompted its leaders to relaunch negotiations.
ASSE gives up the bonus
As a result, the two teams would be well on their way to agree and thus allow the young defender to compete in the final. This is excellent news for the Greens, who will still have to give up the famous 2.5 million euros. As a reminder, ASSE could unlock this bonus from the 17th tenure of the player in the season, a course that the native of Bondy would reach against Parisians. We had to accept a sacrifice…
