The revolution is launchedAXISwho intends to offload several players during the next transfer window.
AS Saint-Etienne should see some movement this winter, both in terms of departures and arrivals. Laurent Batlles has clearly indicated to some of his players his intention to remove them from the squad for the second half of the season. If the level of some is not deemed sufficient by the board, others could also leave the Loire in case of interesting offers.
This is especially true for the goalkeeper Etienne Green, who no longer seems to be favored by his coach despite his No. 1 status at the start of the year. Same pattern for Charles Abi, Saïdou Sow, Sergi Palencia, Yvann Maçon or Gabriel Silva, who would be expelled this winter, as reported Progress this Thursday. As for arrivals this time, the Saint-Etienne recruiting cell would have set its sights on a player from ESTAC, Gauthier Gallone. The 29-year-old goalkeeper knows a difficult pass in the Aube and would be the number 1 option to strengthen the objectives of the ASSE.
ASSE: Several absentees and a new face this morning at L’Etrat
The countdown has begun for AS Saint Etienne, who see the upcoming league games as crucial to staying in the second division. Looking forward to the next match against Annecy on December 26, the Loire club made its big comeback to L’Etrat this week. 18 players were out on Thursday during the training session led by Laurent Batlles. A group to which are added the only two goalkeepers present that day, namely Étienne Green and Cédric Boustouler (18 years old). However, some players were missing, such as goalkeeper Matthieu Dreyer and defender Gabriel Silva. Mathieu Cafaro, Aïmen Moueffek and Antoine Gauthier performed a separate session.
This return to training was also marked by the presence of Roland Romeyer, the president of the Greens, who has decided to strengthen ties with his group for the second part of the season. A presence that suggests a more prominent role for him in the daily life of the club. The international break caused by the World Cup in Qatar allowed Laurent Batlles to review his squad.
While several players are expected to take the door this winter, the Saint-Etienne coach took the opportunity to call a young promise from the training center to the professional, Done Owusu. As revealed EVECT this Thursday, the 19-year-old would have attracted the attention of the professional staff who would have thought of gradually inserting him into the group. Joining last season from AS Sarcelles, the multi-talented defender capable of playing in midfield has quickly joined Razik Nedder’s squad this season.
