In the midst of a revolution in its workforce, the ASSE is thinking of shielding its playing sectors and would have set its sights on a player from theInter Milan.
ASSE Mercato: Dupraz thinks of a Milanese goalkeeper
In the grip of serious economic and sporting difficulties, theAS Saint-Etienne seems to have been sticking its head out of the water for a few days. Since the announcement of the dismissal of Claude Puel in Forez and the arrival of Pascal Dupraz, Saint-Etienne supporters are starting to dream again. If the victory of the Greens against Lyon – La Duchère in the Coupe de France (0-1) is a first significant step towards redemption, the leaders of the Loire Valley know that the maintenance at the end of the season will require a reinforcement of the workforce during the winter transfer window.
Last week, Jean-Francois Soucasse had announced an increase in funds for ASSE to recruit in January after a meeting between all shareholders of the club. Excellent news which allowed Sainté to multiply its tracks in several areas of play. And precisely, according to the site Tutto Mercato Web, AS Saint-Etienne would have views on Ionut Radu, Romanian goalkeeper for Inter Milan.
Lining the essential SamirHandanovic, the 24-year-old is eager to leave and would not be indifferent to Saint-Etienne’s interest. The six week absence ofEtienne Green, who suffers from a sprained left elbow, prompted ASSE leaders to consider a double at the UK international in the event of a relapse. Under contract until 2024 with the Nerazzurri, Radu could be on loan in the second half of the season.
OGC Nice also on the lookout
According to the Italian media, AS Saint-Etienne is not the only club in our championship to have a close eye on the interist goalkeeper. The Aiglons would also make it a choice course to support Walter Benitez. In addition to the Gym, the Genoa would also be on the spot, club where he played between 2018 and 2019.
The rumor of the Ionut Radu file in Sainté is therefore added to that of Steve mandanda, strongly associated with the Loire club since the arrival of Pascal Dupraz. The Habs international has been relegated to the sidelines since the start of the season by his coach Jorge Sampaoli at OM and would consider leaving. Nevertheless, his large salary could be a major brake on Stéphane’s finances. What is certain is that the winter should be eventful for the Greens.
