Saint-Étienne midfielder Zaydou Youssouf has joined Portuguese club Famalicao

Zaydou Youssouf (23), former U23 international (2 caps), played 89 matches with the Greens, the last in Ligue 2, Saturday against Dijon (2-1 defeat, 1st day). He arrived in Saint-Étienne in 2019 from Bordeaux, where he was trained, for a transfer of 2 million euros. The amount of the transaction for his departure to Famalicao would be €1 million.

In the process, Lyon striker Lenny Pintor signed a two-year contract for Saint-Étienne (Ligue 2), announced the clubs ASSE and OL. Aged 21, Pintor made his professional debut in Brest at 17 (2017-2018) before joining Olympique Lyonnais (2018-2022) where he only played two matches in Ligue 1 but with which he participated in the UEFA Youth league (7 matches, 5 goals). He was then loaned to Troyes where he played 32 Ligue 2 matches between 2019 and 2021 (7 goals) under coach Laurent Battles, whom he finds with the Greens. Last season, he only played three matches with the OL reserves.
