The ASSE is looking for inexpensive reinforcements for next season. On the other hand, a few players from Saint-Etienne have drawn the attention of big teams and may leave the club in the form of a transfer. This is the case of Mahdi camara targeted by AC Milan.
ASSE: Mahdi Camara on the shelves of AC Milan
Launched in Ligue 1 during the 2019-2020 financial year, Mahdi Camara has exploded this season with ASSE. His individual performances were above the collective average. By far, he is by far the most used player by Claude Puel this season. And thanks to his performances, he has aroused the greed of foreign clubs including AC Milan. According to the indiscretions of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Lombard club have put the name of the versatile AS Saint-Étienne midfielder on their shortlist for the summer transfer window, which is scheduled to officially open on 9 June.
Qualified for the group stage of the Champions League next season, the Rossoneri are looking for reinforcements to have a good European campaign. Besides Mahdi Camara, the Serie A club have ticked off the names of two other Ligue 1 midfielders. Specifically Boubacar Kamara of OM and Youssouf Fofana of AS Monaco, according to the source.
The midfielder sold for € 10m this summer?
Coming back to No.8 in ASSE, he has appeared in 37 Ligue 1 games and has started as many times this season. He has accumulated 3,295 minutes of play in the league, scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists. Under contract until June 2024, Mahdi Camara (22) is worth € 5 million on the transfer market according to Transfermarkt. However, he could be sold for twice that amount, given his performance in the jersey of the Greens. After his former teammates from the Académie de Sainté, William Saliba (€ 30m) and Wesley Fofana (€ 35m), Mahdi Camara could be the next big sale for the Loire club.
