AS Saint-Etienne : Mercato: a first English giant moves for Gourna-Douath | ASSE News

We revealed, at the beginning of the evening, that the leaders of AS Saint-Etienne announced this Thursday to the players and the technical staff that the deficit amounted to 35 M € currently. And that they were asked for a gesture of solidarity via a substantial drop in wages for the last three months of the season. While waiting to know if the players will agree to make an effort, it seems that the Greens will have to make another big sale next summer to fill the tills.

This has not escaped the English clubs, who have known since William Saliba (recruited by Arsenal in 2019) and especially Wesley Fofana (Leicester, 2020) that Forez is full of nuggets.

Well, a Premier League big has already moved his pawns for the midfielder! This club would be Chelsea. Now led by Thomas Tuchel, who knows Ligue 1 well for having officiated there for two and a half years at PSG, the London club would have no trouble paying the amount expected by AS Saint-Etienne. The Daily Star, which released the information, ensures that Paris-Saint-Germain would also be eyeing the box to box environment.
