Despite their home defeat against Brest (1-2) on Saturday, the players of AS Saint-Etienne benefited from a rest from Claude Puel. As proof, Pope Cisse was seen in Greece on Sunday. The Senegalese giant, loaned by Olympiakos to the Greens in January, was photographed in the official stand of the Karaiskakis stadium of the Hellenic champions for the derby against AEK Athens (2-0).

Was Cissé simply coming from his teammates, already crowned champions and who are 24 points ahead of their dolphin three days from the end? Possible. Or had he come to discuss with the leaders of Olympiakos, and in particular the French sports director, Christian Karembeu, about his future.
Under contract until 2024 with the Red and White, Pape Cissé saw the Greeks set a purchase option of € 12 million in the loan tied with ASSE. This is obviously a lot for Stéphanois whose finances are in the red. But negotiations are possible, such as extending the loan for a second year or reducing the compensation. After all, Transfermarkt sets its value at € 6m, which would already be a big plus for Olympiakos, who bought it ten times less from AC Ajaccio four years ago.
