After the Yann M’Vila, Stéphane Ruffier and other Franck Honorat, it’s the turn of Mathieu Debuchy and Kevin Monnet-Paquet to take the door. The two thirty-something will leave ASSE at the end of their contracts. Also at the end of the lease in Forez, Romain Hamouma may have the chance to be extended. Goal Football ensures that the 34-year-old center-forward is in negotiations for a new contract with the Greens.
A quack in the discussions with Sainté
But as revealed by the specialized media, Romain Hamouma is talking informally with AS Saint-Étienne. The forward has reportedly still not received a written proposal.
