AS Saint-Étienne made the decision to lend its young attacker, Enzo Mayilla, to Aubagne FC, a strategic stage for its development. This choice, announced exclusively, allows the 19-year-old striker, trained in Saint-Étienne and revealed in National 3 in the last two seasons, to discover National 1. The main objective of this loan is to confront it with a more demanding level of competition in order to promote its progression and evaluate it in a professional environment. This approach is not a disavowal, but rather a carefully orchestrated springboard for him to reach an essential stage in his career after four seasons in the ASSE youth categories.

The absence of Enzo Mayilla during the resumption of the reserve and the occupational group for the summer preparation of the AS Saint-Étienne was a deliberate decision. The club wants it to gain in regularity, maturity and adaptability by exposing itself to the intensity of the National 1. Aubagne FC, an ambitious and structured club, offers Mayilla the opportunity to win in a competitive attack and enjoy regular playtime, conditions conducive to the development of young talent. This double stake operation allows ASSE to advance its player while assessing its ability to meet the demands of the high level.

As soon as he arrived in Aubagne, Enzo Mayilla quickly made a sensation. In a friendly pre-season match against Rodez, he scored as soon as he entered the game, reducing the score for Aubagne. Although this first one is tainted by an injury forcing him to leave the field after 35 minutes, it testifies to his ability to be decisive and to respond present from the first moments. If its growth continues, AS Saint-Étienne plans to reintegrate it into its professional rotation next summer, thus confirming the success of this loan decision.
