Beres Owusu, a lawyer trained at AS Saint-Étienne, joined the Graz AK in Austria for a loan period with option of purchase. This decision, announced exclusively, marks an important step in the career of the 22-year-old. After gradual integration into the Stéphanois occupational group, Owusu perceived a need for change in order to move forward, due to strong competition for the position of central defender. Despite limited opportunities in recent friendships, he has given priority to a challenge that gives him greater visibility and a context conducive to his development.

The Graz AK, an iconic Austrian football club that recently found the Bundesliga, was seduced by Owusu’s versatile profile. Able to evolve in central defence as on the right side, the player is considered a valuable asset to strengthen the team. The loan includes a purchase option, reflecting the intention of the Austrian club to engage with the young Frenchman on a lasting basis. For Owusu, this opportunity represents a challenging challenge, allowing him to accumulate experience at a higher level and gain maturity.

Owusu’s departure is part of a clear sporting logic for ASSE, given the density of the defensive sector. According to sports director Didi Elsneg, Owusu brings great defensive flexibility and has significant technical qualities. The Stéphanois club hopes that this loan will be successful and that a possible return to the Forez, under contract with ASSE, can be considered if the purchase option is not exercised. This decision marks a turning point in Owusu’s career, which aspires to take a course and win as a confirmed player.
