These are words likely to reassure the supporters of AS Saint-Étienne. At a press conference this Thursday, Claude Puel mentioned the case of Wesley Fofana. The 19-year-old defender, who discovered the first team last season, is a big promise and his performances have already caught the eye of many European teams willing to shell out millions of euros.
“For me there is no debate swept away Claude Puel. I took stock with him several times and he’s a young player who has played 17 professional games. I think he is still learning and has yet to mature. He is in the right club to quietly continue his progress. He is well in Saint-Étienne and he will stay in Saint-Étienne “.
It will be difficult to retain in the event of a large offer
According to the manager of ASSE, there would also be no debate about Wesley Fofana with its president Roland Romeyer. However, it is difficult to imagine that in the event of offers around thirty million euros, the Greens, whose finances are not at best, can resist.
Clubs like AC Milan, RB Leipzig and Leicester have reportedly positioned themselves on the defender.
