ASSE separated from many players during the summer transfer window, generating interesting revenue for the Forez club, but insufficient to put the club’s accounts in the green, forcing it to make new sales by this time. winter.
50 million euros in revenue …
In the summer transfer window, ASSE cleaned up its workforce. The Greens managed to part ways with players with high salaries and sell others for very good sums. Yann M’Vila left Saint-Etienne for Olympiakos in Greece, Vagner Dias went to FC Metz, Loïs Diony to Angers SCO, Franck Honorat to the Brest stadium … ASSE has, above all, recovered a large check for the share of Leicester City during this transfer window, with the sale of Wesley Fofana for the sum of 35 million euros, to which it will be necessary to add 5 million euros of bonus. A transfer window therefore rather successful for Sainté who was also able to recruit smart without breaking the bank.
Insufficient for ASSE
TheASSE, very in financial difficulty, according to the 10 Sport, had no choice but to recruit at a reduced price. What Claude Puel’s club has done quite well, with the arrivals of Adil Aouchiche from PSG, Panagiotis Retsos, from Bayer Leverkusen, or Yvan Neyou from Portugal and Braga. ASSE has done everything to avoid going broke, but the profits generated remain insufficient. Thus, several players could find a way out to England or Russia, by the closing of the transfer window for these two countries on Saturday, October 17, or during the winter transfer window. Three players with high salaries have become undesirable, starting with the goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier, in open conflict with the club. This is also the case of Ryad Boudebouz on whom ASSE would no longer count. Finally Wahbi Khazri is in the hot seat. The Tunisian international, if he appears to have left to stay at Saint-Etienne, is on an ejection seat and could leave if an attractive offer materializes.
