Present at a press conference Thursday, Claude Puel was asked about the contractual situation of Loïc Perrin.
While Saint-Etienne has decided to extend the central defender by 34 years, at the end of the contract to June 30, in order to allow him to play the final of the Coupe de France against Paris Saint-Germain (July 24), the manager general of the Greens remained very vague over the rest of the captain’s career. “He is available for this Cup match and afterwards, we’ll see for the rest.“
If it can rely on Loïc Perrin to challenge the French champion at the Stade de France, the Forézian team will be deprived of William Saliba. ASSE was unable to reach an agreement with Arsenal to extend the central defender’s loan, bought last summer by the Gunners.
