AS Saint-Etienne will unfortunately find Ligue 2, but the new owners of the Greens do not intend to make a low profile at all. For this, Ivan Gazidis aims very high during the transfer window.
The Greens will not make dingueries on the transfer market, it is not at all the kind of kilmer sports bosses, but ASSE should still have a nice budget on a Ligue 2. scale. Logical favorites to the rise in Ligue 1, the Stéphanois can in particular count on a substantial contribution, that of the probable sale of Lucas Stassin. If the 20-year-old Belgian striker already has an agreement in principle with the RC Lens, who aims for a loan with option to buy, the managers of AS Saint-Etienne want them, that the club which will offer the revelation of the past season breaks his shoot. To the point of breaking the record for the biggest transfer in the history of the Greens.

The site Teamfootball reveals that ASSE demands between 18 and 22 million euros to let Lucas Stassin go, which still has three years of contract with the Greens. The 12 goals scored by the Belgian player last season in Ligue 1 did not escape several clubs, and taking into account the young age of Stassin, prices can fly away and reach this bar of 22 million euros. For AS Saint-Etienne, it would be the third largest sale in its history, behind the 35 million euros affected for Wesley Fofana in Leicester, and the 30 million euros pocketed for the sale of William Saliba in Arsenal. It now remains in Ivan Gazidis to find the club likely to put as much money in its star attack, the Lensoise proposal not being at this height.
