Announced as concluded “at 99%” by Le Progrès earlier today, the loan of M’Baye Niang (Stade Rennais, 25) could be concluded tomorrow on the side of AS Saint-Etienne. Close to the Senegalese, Pierre Ménès confirmed a few minutes ago that the striker was going to spend his medical examination tomorrow morning in the Forez.
Despite the hand extended by Julien Stéphan on RMC less than 2 hours ago, M’Baye Niang has therefore decided to end his thinking by joining the Greens for a dry loan for a season. A nice blow for ASSE who had been working on the file for several days.
At the economic level, the Greens are doing a good job since, according to our information, Stade Rennais will cover part of Niang’s big salary (between 220,000 and 240,000 € gross per month).
Saint-Etienne will therefore toast his joker and will not be able to recruit anyone before January 2021.
Mba Niang will have his medical examination tomorrow morning in Saint Etienne
