AS Saint-Etienne : Mercato: Claude Puel says no to the departure of one of his players | ASSE News

ASSE needs money, it’s no secret. Claude Puel had a meeting with its leaders at the beginning of May to decide on the project and the line to take. If the coach is open at the beginning of certain executives to help recover funds, some players are intransferable. And if the leaders sell them, it could create great tensions.

If executives like Stéphane Ruffier are pushed to the exit, some young people like Wesley Fofana will not leave. The young central defender capable of playing midfielder is one of the darling of the Greens, and he won’t be playing without them next season. The Stéphanois defender has however several contenders including AC Milan.

For several weeks the Rossoneris have sent offers to ASSE. Among other things, we are talking about an offer of 18 million euros refused by the leaders. But the Milanese do not despair and are even ready to propose 30 million euros for Fofana. An exceptional offer for a player so young estimated at 5000000 who only played 14 games in League 1. A chance to see him in Serie A? Unlikely or Puel risks going to clash with its leaders.
