Dismissed by Claude Puel, who does not count on him for the 2020-2021 season, Wahbi Khazri is looking for a way out in the transfer window.
Set aside for the benefit of younger players such as Charles Abi, Arnaud Nordin, Adil Aouchiche and Denis Bouanga, the former Bastia attacking midfielder wants to bounce back away from Saint-Etienne. But according to information obtained by L’Equipe, Wahbi Khazri is looking for a project to match that of Saint-Etienne. And proof that he favors the sportsman over the financier, the Tunisian international has refused a lucrative proposal from Al-Khor, a Qatari club of which Frédéric Hantz is the coach.
The national daily understands that if Khazri does not manage to find a way out by October 5, then Claude Puel could reinstate him in the professional workforce, without making him an incumbent. In addition, Ryad Boudebouz was also proposed to Al-Khor, with whom discussions are visibly very fluid on the side of Saint-Etienne. But the profile of the former Betis Sevilla playmaker, who is failing at ASSE, does not match what Frédéric Hantz is looking for. As is the case with Wahbi Khazri, Ryad Boudebouz does not appear in the little papers of Claude Puel, who would like to find him a way out before Sunday evening.
