ASSE Mercato: Why did Yohan Cabaye refuse to extend?

Arrived at ASSE in August 2019, Yohan Cabaye will leave the club in this summer transfer window. The experienced midfielder is at the end of the contract with the Greens. He wants to give a new trajectory to his career by signing in a club of a championship other than the Ligue 1. However, he was not anyway in the plans of Claude Puel. The Stéphane coach, for next season, is building a team of young players. The very soon arrival of Adil Aouchiche at ASSE once again shows the nature of the project under construction. The As Saint-Etienne simply wanted him to sign a two-month contract that would have allowed him to play the Coupe de France final against the Paris Saint Germain. A similar offer was made to Loïc Perrin, the defender and captain of ASSE, at the end of the contract this summer. The midfielder refuses to sign the two-month contract offered to him by the club to avoid an injury that could prevent his engagement with another club this summer transfer window.

ASSE Mercato: What future for Yohan Cabaye?

Although 34, Yohan Cabaye does not think of stopping his career. He would like to embark on the discovery of the American Major League Soccer championship. Like Zlatan Ibrahimovic whom he rubbed shoulders with PSG in the past, Yohan Cabaye wants to play in MLS before hanging up on the crampons. The former player for Newcastle and the Dubai club Al-Nasr would already have contacts with clubs in this championship. No name has yet filtered from the list of those he could join in the coming weeks. ASSE, and especially Claude Puel, will have to rely on the players at his disposal for the shock against PSG in the final of the Coupe de France.
