The ASSE is actively seeking reinforcements for its lateral positions, considering that this defensive sector requires reinforcement. Several avenues are explored, although some are currently unlikely. The club is particularly interested in filling the gap left by the potential departure of Yvann Maco, whose future is uncertain and whose departure this summer could free up a place for a new recruit. The goal is to regain strength on the wings, after suffering from a lack of depth during the key matches last season.

ThiBaut Vaergas, a Laval player under contract until June 2026, is a profile studied by ASSE. Trained in Montpellier and with a solid experience in Ligue 2, he is appreciated for his offensive qualities and his ability to center. However, the player does not seem interested in a new stay in Ligue 2 and would prefer a challenge abroad, which complicates the negotiation. The ASSE is therefore exploring other options, including foreign profiles, to ensure quality reinforcement.

The situation on the left is also monitored, and the likely start of Maco reinforces the need to find a new player. The ASSE hopes to finalize this dossier before the official start of the championship, in order to avoid reviving the difficulties encountered in the previous season. Despite efforts, the profile of the future right side remains uncertain, and ThiBaut Vaergas is unlikely to join ASSE this season. The Stéphanois mercato is therefore far from over, and the club remains vigilant to strengthen its wings.
