Relegated to Ligue 2, AS Saint-Etienne does not give up its ambitions. In full reconstruction, the club multiplies the tracks to strengthen its defense, a sector deemed priority by coach Eirik Horneland.
According to Green peoplethe Greens checked a very specific name: Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao, solid central defender of Rapid Vienna.
A target of choice to replace uncertainties
While the situations of Batubinsika, Mason and Nadé remain vague, ASSE anticipates departures in this sector. The profile of Raux-Yao, 26, pleases a lot: regular holder in Austria, the former of Rodez impresses with his power and his physical qualities (1m96). But his return to Ligue 2 could appear as a decline, after only a year spent outside of France.
Rapid Vienna does not intend to sell off its player. After Green peoplethe club claims at least 5 million euros to release French, under contract. Foreign competition, especially in the Bundesliga, could also complicate the plans of Saint-Etienne.
