After paying attention to the interests of a club in his native country, Ignacio Ramirez seems determined to leave the ASSE during the winter transfer window.
ASSE: Towards the termination of Ignacio Ramirez’s loan?
Loaned to ASSE until the end of the season in June 2022, Ignacio Ramirez failed to win in the Greens under Claude Puel. Successor of the latter, Pascal Dupraz doesn’t trust the Liverpool FC striker who left Montevideo (Uruguay) on the last day of the 2021 summer transfer window. “I’m here to make choices. I assume my choices “, released the new coach of AS Saint-Étienne, to justify the absence of the Uruguayan international in his group, in the last Ligue 1 game against FC Nantes (0-1).
In other words, Ignacio Ramirez is not among the top picks for the attacking ASSE coach. Pascal Dupraz had tested him in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France against Lyon-La Duchère (1-0). On the sidelines at the start of the match, Ignacio Ramirez had replaced Jean-Philippe Krasso in the 68th minute of play. Given his lack of playing time with the Greens, the Uruguayan striker would consider a return to his country where he was top scorer in the championship in 2019 and finished 2nd in the same ranking in 2020.
The Uruguayan striker sensitive to the interest of Nacional
Pending the official decision of the 24-year-old center-forward, the latter reacted favorably to the interest of Nacional, a club in the Uruguayan capital where a former Greens striker (2009-2011) plays. Gonzalo Bergessio (37 years). “I heard the rumor of Nacional Montevideo, it’s a source of pride”, had he let go in an interview on Uruguayan radio Sport 890. Ignacio Ramirez also sent a clear message to ASSE’s technical staff about his playing time. “I’ve never had the continuity that a forward needs to be able to win and score goals. […] What I want is to play and feel important, ”he said.
