The week will be busy for AS Saint-Étienne, marked by the end of French mercato and an international truce. If players benefit from a rest period, leaders will remain very active. The club made a particularly successful mercato, spending 32.4 million euros, the most important in its history, while retaining its key players and completing its staff with ten new recruits. The arrival of players like Irvin Cardona, Mahmoud Jaber and Joshua Duffus attests to the club’s ambitions for League 2.

One of the hot issues of the mercato was the young talent Djylian N的Guessan, targeted by the Paris FC who tried to recruit him via the joker rule. ASSE strongly refused this offer, wishing to preserve its offensive staff. This decision is part of a policy of caution displayed by the club, despite the ambitions of Paris FC and the player’s desire to save playing time. ASSE also refused a final offer from Paris FC for Lucas Staas, confirming its intention to retain its best elements.

In parallel with these movements, ASSE has scheduled several trainings this week, some of which are open to the public. Women’s teams, U17, U19 and reserve will also play this weekend. All these activities demonstrate the club’s commitment to the development of its young talents and the preparation of its teams for the rest of the season. The balance of the mercato is positive, with quality arrivals and controlled departures, suggesting a promising season for ASSE.
