If the managers of Saint-Etienne were unable to sign Rennes striker M’Baye Niang before the transfer window closed on Monday, they have never lost hope of signing him as a wild card, scoring 11 goals last season.
Medical visit this Friday
According to our information, the player was on his way to undergo his medical examination this Friday in Saint-Etienne.
At the end of this visit, he is expected to sign up for a year, on loan from Rennes with no option to buy.
This is a real added value for Claude Puel, coach of the Greens, who was looking for a striker who scored and able to take depth.
This arrival concludes the Saint-Etienne transfer window.
