The ASSE has experienced a busy summer, marked by a strengthening of its staff and discussions around several player files. The arrival of Chico Lamba, a young Portuguese defender, illustrates this desire to boost the team with technical, physical and mental players ready to invest. Lamba, seduced by the Ligue 1 relegation project, is part of a recruitment strategy focused on foreign profiles bringing a different professional awareness. The club relies on a fast and intense game, supported by reinforced physical supervision, to fully express the potential of its new recruits.

Discussions about contract extensions are at the heart of current concerns, notably that of Gautier Larsonneur, a confirmed goalkeeper. ASSE is committed to keeping it for the coming season, ensuring the safety of the number one doorman. At the same time, the club pursues a policy of unblocking, with players like Yvann Mason and Dylan Batubinsika likely to leave. The future of Pierre Ekwah and Benjamin Bouchouaari, in the field, remains uncertain, with offers limited to the option of buying for the first and a continuing interest of European clubs for the second.

Despite an active mercato, the ASSE is now entering a more calm phase, with adjustments to be made according to departures and opportunities. The club learns about profiles to strengthen its left defence, its midfielder and game creation. Although most of the work has been done, some moves are still possible before the September 1 deadline. ASSE is preparing for a more dynamic and aggressive season, with a desire to improve the quality of the game, particularly in defence, and capitalize on the offensive potential of its new recruits.
