The disastrous start to the season for the ASSE has negative repercussions on players. The odds of several of As Saint-Etienne have fallen.
ASSE: What odds for the Greens in the market?
The poor results of ASSE this season are reflected in the market value of the players of the Saint-Etienne team. If you look at the numbers, some players have seen their odds drop and some haven’t risen at all. Besides Lucas Gourna-Douath (12 M €), Étienne Green (8 M €) who individually perform well, Adil Aouchiche (10 M €) whose price was already on the rise when he left PSG and Denis Bouanga (9 M €), the other players are far from 10 M €. Even, Wahbi Khazri, the current top scorer of the Stéphanois is valued at € 4.5 million.
Players at the end of their contract in June 2022 at AS Saint-Étienne are down. For example: Ryad Boudebouz (€ 2.2 M), Timothée Kolodziejczak (€ 4 M), Romain Hamouma (€ 1.5 M), Assane Diousse (€ 1 M) and Gabriel Silva (€ 1.5 M). As for the young young players trained at the ASSE academy: Stefan Bajic (19 years old), Bilal Benkhedim (1 M €) and Mickaël Nadé (22 years old), they are listed at only 1 M € each and Maxence Rivera at 2 M €. So they can’t pay off big for the Greens at the moment. As for Yvan Neyou, Zaydou Youssouf, Harold Moukoudi and Arnaud Nordin, they are each worth € 5 million and captain Madi Camara is estimated at € 6 million.
AS Saint-Etienne: The two big shots with Saliba and Fofana
Note that ASSE had two big hits with record sales for William Saliba and Wesley Fofana. The former joined Arsenal in summer 2019 for € 30m and the second joined Leicester City in 2020 for € 35m (+ € 5m bonus). It is true that the odds of the two Sainté-trained center-backs were not estimated at these amounts at the time of their transfer, but they had caught the eye of Premier League clubs thanks to their performance for the Loire club.
