AS Saint-Etienne : Mercato: the Greens tried to overtake OM on a rookie | ASSE News

The soap opera of the left side continues in Saint-Etienne. And will last a priori until October 5, the closing day of the transfer window, as the Greens are struggling to degrease in this sensitive position and to find a solution as inexpensive as it is reliable. Miguel Trauco is pushed towards the exit but his contacts with Olympiakos have died out. Gabriel Silva is injured while Timothée Kolodziejczak prefers the axis. What pushed Claude Puel aligned the right-hander Yvann Maçon on the left for the reception of Lorient.

During the Club ASSE program on the Loire chain, TL7, in which our correspondent Laurent Hess participates, the former journalist of Progress Yves Verrière released a scoop: the Greens tried to bring in the experienced Yuto Nagatomo ( 33 years old), who was at the end of his contract at Galatasaray but who finally signed up with OM.

Jacky Bonnevay knew him well since he had had in the Japanese team, when he worked with Vahid Halilhodzic. But he preferred to commit to Marseille.

But the Phocéens had for them the advantage of playing in the Champions League and especially another Japanese player already in their ranks in the person of Hiroki Sakai.
