Looking for some nice shots for the next transfer market, AS Saint-Etienne is looking at Zinedine Ferhat. A track that is already complicated …
Following the validation of its maintenance in Ligue 1, the Forez club begins to prepare for next season. Even if the future of ASSE is still unclear, knowing that President Romeyer has put his club up for sale, Claude Puel must anticipate the next transfer window. Next summer, the Greens coach will be looking in particular for an attacking midfielder. In recent days, the name of Zinedine Ferhat has been mentioned in Sainté. But according to information from Goal, the case will be difficult for ASSE to conclude.
Ferhat will leave Nîmes
Not because the player does not want to come, knowing that the Algerian international wants to leave Nîmes at the end of the season. “I am currently playing my second season with Nîmes Olympique, it will be my last before leaving the club that I want to keep in Ligue 1”, had launched, on beIN Sports MENA, the 28-year-old player, author of six goals and ten assists in 32 games this season.
Sainté financially overwhelmed?
But it is at the economic level that it risks blocking for Saint-Etienne … In the grip of enormous financial difficulties in this period of crisis, the formation of the Loire will not have the eight million euros claimed by Nîmes Olympic to let go of its best player. And given the fact that Ferhat is also followed by Sassuolo or the Glasgow Rangers, ASSE will also have a hard time convincing in terms of salary and sporting project. Suffice to say that Puel will have to go his way … Especially if a club like OM were also to throw themselves on this good opportunity of the next summer transfer window in L1.
