Last month, on the sidelines of the match against Brest (defeat 1-2), Claude Puel had been questioned about the situation of certain executives of AS Saint-Étienne whose contracts expire on June 30. It is about Mathieu Debuchy and Romain Hamouma. “I will not comment on whether or not Etienne Green is extended. I will not speak of the situations of Hamouma and Debuchy. This is not the moment. The priority is maintenance “, the ASSE coach said.

Indeed, according to daily information Progress, Romain Hamouma and Mathieu Debuchy could be extended by AS Saint-Étienne in the coming days. The regional media explains that if the trend for Kévin Monnet-Paquet is more towards a start at the end of the season, a one-year extension could be signed by Mathieu Debuchy (35) and Romain Hamouma (34).
