AS Saint-Etienne : The beautiful plan B of the Greens if Saliba does not come | ASSE News

TheASSE ardently wishes to repatriate his former central defender, William saliba, at transfer window winter loan from Arsenal. But the competition will be tough to convince the young player and the leaders of the Greens do not intend to wait for a possible failure of the negotiations to look at other avenues to strengthen their defensive sector.

Saliba expected, but a solid back-up plan

Things are clearing up quickly for William saliba. The former defender ofASSE is barely at Arsenal, where he still hasn’t played in the first team and doesn’t seem to fit into Mikel Arteta’s plans. “Saliba’s legal representative will travel to London this week to meet Arsenal executives,” revealed The team, where it will be a question of “the immediate future of the former central defender. The Arsenal board have not yet told him, or put pressure, to leave on loan. It is all about even of the current trend “. But ASSE is not the only one at the time and tries to anticipate a loan from Saliba in England. Thus, the recruiters of the Greens are thinking about the best low-cost options, the club’s finances not allowing to align several million in the winter transfer window.

ASSE reactivates a track of the summer transfer window

Thus, according to information from Holy Inside, ASSE would have reactivated the runway Samy Mmaee. The Moroccan defender of Sint-Truiden had already been tracked at the end of the summer transfer window. “There was contact with Saint-Etienne, but it was at the last minute of the transfer window, the 24-year-old revealed during an interview with journalist Hanif Berkane. It was complicated and they (Saint- Etienne and Saint-Trond, note) did not manage to finalize all this in time. It is perhaps a bad for a good. I wanted to leave Saint-Trond by doing things well, cleanly and without haste. – be that if the transfer window had lasted one more day, I would have signed. It did not matter much. ” The opportunity could therefore present itself very quickly for theASSE and Samy Mmaee. “The Moroccan international is on the list of Stéphanois. He is of interest to other L1 clubs. At the end of the contract in June 2021, his club could facilitate his departure,” wrote Holy Inside. A track at a lower cost, since Mmaee is estimated at less than a million euros by the specialized site Transfermarkt.
