Foot – Mercato – ASSE
Former head of the ASSE recruiting unit and current agent of Romain Hamouma, David Wantier spoke about the future of the Saint-Etienne striker.
Claude Puel would prepare a sweep during the next summer transfer window. Several players are expected to leave the Forez club at the end of the season, such as Kevin Monnet-Paquet, of Mathieu Debuchy, of Miguel trauco, but also of Romain Hamouma. Under contract until next June, the 34-year-old forward would like to stay at theASSE, but its leaders would be ready to turn the page. Former head of the recruitment unit for Greens and current advisor of Hamouma, David Wantier does not know if his client will stay with the Saint-Etienne club next season. But one thing is certain, the time for retirement has not yet come.
“He will be a professional player next season”
” He’s a late-contracted boy who has given Saint-Etienne a lot and to whom Saint-Etienne has given back a lot. He’s been there nine seasons by the end of this one. He is someone who will reach the 300-game mark in Ligue 1, which is no small feat, and who is AS Saint-Etienne’s top scorer in activity in the 21st century! He even exceeded the number of goals for Dominique Rocheteau. When we said that, we summed up the relationship between Romain and Saint-Etienne (…) We can still see it this season, he remains a decisive player. He has plenty of capacity to make other seasons at the highest level. There is no question of retraining at the end of this exercise. He will be a professional player next season ” told David Wantier in an interview with In green and against all.
