Having entered the home stretch of the 2020 summer transfer window, Saint-Etienne is agitated behind the scenes. This Monday, the residents of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium announced the temporary departure of Sergi Palencia, who arrived last year and whose contract ends in 2023.
“AS Saint-Étienne and Club Deportivo Leganés reached an agreement on Monday for the loan of a season without an option to buy the 24-year-old defender Sergi Palencia. The Catalan trained at FC Barcelona and arrived in Forez last summer, finds his native country for the 2020-2021 season. Relegated this summer after finishing 18th in La Liga, Leganés plays in the Spanish second division and made a successful start to the season by signing two wins in three matches. AS Saint-Étienne wishes Sergi every success in this new challenge. “ Good news for the Greens of Puel who are losing weight.
🔴 @ Sergipalencia96 joined @CDLeganes 🇪🇸 in the form of a one-season loan with no purchase option.
Good luck Sergi in this new challenge! 💪
