There are only a few days left before the end of the transfer market. The opportunity for the clubs to strengthen their workforce, before the last sprint of this end of the season. ASSE, which has no less than five recruits since January 1, continues to be talked about in this transfer window. According to Ekrem Konur, journalist for Calcio in Pillole, the people of Saint-Etienne would be interested in a loan from 27-year-old Lazio Roma player Vedat Muriqi.

A loan to ASSE for Vedat Muriqi?

The Roman experience will not have worked for the Kosovar giant. Arrived from Fenerbahçe, against 19.92 million euros, at the very end of the 2020 summer transfer window, the striker did not convince. In a year and a half, he has a record of one goal and one assist. His market value tumbled, reaching €6m, according to Transfermarkt. A much lower estimate than that of the Football Observatory (CIES), which is between 10 and 15 million euros.

Competition on the file for the Greens

Vedat Muriqi seems to be heading for the exit, as his contract ends on June 30, 2025. He earns 240,000 euros gross monthly, a salary similar to that received by Wahbi Khazri, at Stéphanois. The latter will have to negotiate with Lazio, who would like to include a mandatory purchase option of 12 million euros, according to the Turkish journalist, Yağız Sabuncuoğlu. ASSE is not the only club on the Muriqi track, since Fenerbahçe and Hull City are among the contenders.
