Romain Hamouma’s contract with ASSE ends in June 2021, but the future of the Saint-Etienne captain is still pending on the side of the Greens, where he benefits from a contractual clause allowing him to retrain in the staff of the Greens. But the 33-year-old has no plans to activate it.
End of the adventure at ASSE?
At 33, Romain Hamouma still has all his legs. He has proven it since the start of the season, as against OGC Nice, last weekend, when the Stéphanois captain was one of the best players of the Greens on the field despite a third defeat in a row (1-3). His involvement is obviously no longer to be proven, captain’s armband around his arm, proof of this is his explanation with the Nice defender Dante about a penalty he felt he deserved, after a slight contact with the Brazilian. Romain Hamouma, it is eight seasons with ASSE since his arrival in the summer transfer window of 2012 and, also, the top scorer of the Greens in the 21st century, with 57 achievements in 276 matches, with 47 assists: a true master to play offensive , in whom Claude Puel fully trusts.
One more year in Green?
If his age brings him closer to the end of his career than to the beginning, Romain Hamouma does not intend to hang up the crampons right away. However, a clause in his contract, which expires at the end of the season, would allow him to continue the adventure with theASSE with a retraining in the technical staff of the first team or with the young people of theAS Saint-Etienne. But Hamouma does not wish to activate this clause for the moment. Indeed, according to The team, the player is about to enter into negotiations with his management with the objective of extending his contract for one more season in Forez. A wise decision on the side of ASSE for a player who finally seems to be rid of injuries and who has aligned three goals and an assist in his last five matches in Green. But perhaps a pay cut would fix its leaders, whose club is in the grip of some financial difficulties.
