Beaten to everyone’s surprise by fans of Bergerac (National 2) and therefore eliminated from the Coupe de France, ASSE will now have to fully focus on its main objective which remains its “maintenance operation in Ligue 1”.
And to achieve this, the leaders of AS Saint-Etienne succeeded in several interesting moves during this winter Mercato with in particular the signings of Joris Gnagnon, Eliaquim Mangala and Bakary Sako, while obtaining the loans of Paul Bernardoni and Sada Thioub.
But on this last day of the transfer market, the Greens of St Etienne also recorded a big reinforcement with the arrival of Enzo Crivelli (26), on loan with an option to buy from Istanbul Basaksehir… and now it would be a new right side which would be expected in the next few hours at the State.
Indeed, while the name of Clément Michelin (AEK Athens, ex RC Lens) came back with insistence on the side of ASSE, it would finally be Falaye Sacko (26 years old) who should land in the form of a loan from of Vitoria Guimaraes.
Author of a goal in 13 games of Liga Bwin (D1 Portugal) during the first half of the season, the Malian international right side will therefore strengthen the workforce of the Greens of AS Saint-Etienne until the end of the season. , as revealed by Saber Desfarges (journalist for Amazon Prime Video).
Very good news to come therefore for Pascal Dupraz and ASSE at the end of the Mercato, especially since Falaye Sacko’s loan should be accompanied by a purchase option estimated at around €2.5 million.
