Still looking for a player or two to add to their squad, Saint-Etienne had recently taken on Marcos André.
As reported on Saturday, the Greens had clearly expressed their interest in the Real Valladolid striker, who was loaned to Mirandès last season. Madrid daily AS reported a possible 6 ME offer for the 23-year-old scorer, who had a strong second division season last season. The ASSE fans were generally enthusiastic about this Brazilian track, but unfortunately for Saint Etienne supporters it was a flash in the pan. And for good reason, this track has already been abandoned by the leaders of Saint-Etienne, according to information from Manu Lonjon.
“Abandoned track. Next » let the journalist know via his account Twitter, without saying more about the reasons for this turnaround. In his live on Twitch on Saturday evening, Manu Lonjon indicated that at ME 6, the price announced by the AS newspaper earlier in the weekend, Saint-Etienne would not be able to position himself. In the process, he confirmed the interest of the Greens, while explaining that Marcos André’s price was lower than the prices indicated in Spain. It remains to be seen whether it was for financial reasons that Claude Puel’s ASSE dropped the case. One thing is certain, it is not in Forez that Marcos André will continue his career. Now it will be interesting to see whether the Greens, who currently have Khazri, Abi, Diony and Krasso in attack, position themselves on a new center-forward in the coming weeks.
Abandoned track. Next. https://t.co/BHvPfx2Xyi
