In the summer transfer window of 2021, ASSE could have made a transfer to the tune of € 5m, but the operation did not go through to the end.
ASSE rejected an offer of 4.5 to 5 M € for Arnaud Nordin
ASSE did not make a sale last summer, following the successive transfers of William Saliba to Arsenal in 2019 and Wesley Fofana to Leicester City in 2020. According to information from Bernard lions, AS Saint-Étienne had the opportunity to make a sale, but rejected a proposal for Arnaud Nordin (23). “The Stéphanois had received a proposal between 4.5 M € and 5 M €”, but they refused according to the information of the journalist of The team, in Sainte Night Club.
A loss for Bernard Caïazzo and his partner Roland Romeyer, as the left-winger’s contract expires on June 30 and heads for a departure without transfer compensation. Moreover, he is free to give his agreement to the club of his choice in this month of January, while waiting for the end of the season. It should be noted that Arnaud Nordin’s rating is valued at € 4 million on the transfer market.
AS Saint-Étienne without a recruitment budget last summer!
Did ASSE refuse to sell their young, club-trained striker? The answer is obvious! The Saint-Etienne team have been in great difficulty the past two seasons and management had no interest in weakening them, especially since they did not have the budget to recruit new players as reinforcements. Moreover, the Greens have only recorded the arrival of Ignacio Ramirez last summer. The Uruguayan center-forward came to Geoffroy-Guichard on a season-long loan. He is from Liverpool FC from Montevideo (Uruguay). This winter, the source understands that ASSE “has a budget of just over 200,000 euros, in terms of payroll”.
