The signing of Adil Aouchiche at AS Saint-Etienne should be formalized this week. But the transfer window of the Greens will suffer the effects.
AS Saint-Etienne is impatiently waiting for July 15, the date on which Adil Aouchiche will celebrate his 18th birthday, which will allow his agents to receive a commission as part of the signing of the now former PSG player with the Greens. For this, Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo agreed to pay a nice signing bonus, as well as to give Adil Aouchiche a substantial salary. This reinforcement makes the happiness of the Stéphanois supporters, but it could well be the last major signature during this summer transfer window 2020. Because on the side of Etrat, the finances do not allow anymore to recruit players in the current state of the workforce made available to Claude Puel.
To explain this accounting situation, Le Progrès has no hesitation and balances names. “ Suffering from the consequences of the salary policy led by Jean-Louis Gasset – which nevertheless enabled Saint-Etienne to maintain itself in 2018 and then win a good 4th place in 2019 – ASSE will be able to reinvest provided that it finds a way out to its biggest emoluments (Ruffier, M’Vila, Khazri, Boudebouz, Diony,…) or to the unwanted (Trauco, Palencia, Guendouz, Souici). Problem, the courtiers do not jostle “Explains the regional daily, which specifies that the coming of Adil Aouchiche will be” the only check signed by AS Saint-Etienne ” There remains a solution, accept the offers that arrive for two gems of the Greens, Denis Bouanga and Wesley Fofana. But a priori Claude Puel has already warned his leaders that this idea was to be forgotten very quickly.
