Since Wesley Fofana left for Leicester in the last summer transfer window, theASSE seeks to strengthen the position of central defender. According to information from 10 Sport, Saint-Etienne leaders would be interested in the profile of Anthony Caci, Strasbourg player. The 23-year-old, trained in Alsace, won as an indisputable starter in Thierry Laurey’s team. He, who has never left his club at heart, could take a step forward by signing for the Greens. After Kenny Lala, and Mohamed Simikan, will the club chaired by Marc Keller lose another defender?
Anthony Caci improves on the transfer window
Off the pitch for three months last year after a groin injury, Anthony Caci is holding up physically this season. Consistent in his performance, he played 26 Ligue 1 matches this year, under the Strasbourg jersey. The specialized site Transfermarkt, valued in the transfer window at 4 million euros. For its part, theFootball Observatory, estimates, between 4 and 7 million euros. The Alsatian has the ability to be versatile, this year Thierry Laurey has used him as central defender and left-back.
A below-average salary at ASSE
Anthony Caci would receive a salary of 350,000 gross per season, or nearly 30,000 euros per month. Under contract until 2022, his remuneration should not be a concern for the leaders of AS Saint-Etienne. This is about two times lower than the average salary in the AS Saint-Etienne collective this 2020-21 season. Finally, Forez will have to battle the competition, as the 23-year-old defender is also reportedly being tracked by AS Monaco, Olympique Lyonnais, and Wolsburg, Germany.
