Despite its descent into Ligue 2, AS Saint-Etienne hosted the end of this summer transfer window.
This is a file that was uncertain until the end: top scorer in AS Saint-Etienne last season, Lucas Stassin could have packed before the end of the summer transfer window on Monday evening, at 8 p.m.
A little earlier in the day, the young Belgian center-forward had been the subject of an offensive from Paris FC. A challenge that meets his personal aspirations, with the prospect of continuing in Ligue 1 following the accession of the Ile -de -France club. But ASSE finally managed to keep its gem.

How ? By imposing requirements that resemble a deterrent price. While Paris FC had made a proposal up to 29 million euros for Stassin, the Greens raised their tone in the evening.
The incredible price set by Saint-Etienne for Stassin
According to information from the regional daily Le Parisien, AS Saint-Etienne was not ready to let Lucas Stassin go for an amount of less than 42 million euros! A sum that would have included 7 million various bonuses.
Stassin therefore remained in the fold, the PFC not wishing to enter the bidding for an attacker with the certain potential, under contract until 2028, but to the still limited experience.
