In search of reconstruction AS Saint-Etienne is preparing its Ligue 2 season and wants to go back to the elite of French football as quickly as possible. For this, the Forez club is very active on the transfer window. Tony Strata, AC AJACCIO player is tracked by the Greens.
AS Saint-Etienne continues its summer transfer window. The Forez club is very active to prepare for the year 2025/2026. After a difficult season in Ligue 1, the Greens were relegated to the anteroom of French football. After the lifted purchase options of Irvin Cardona and Maxime Bernauer, Saint-Etienne will draw in Ligue 2 to strengthen himself defensively. This sector is the main project of Eirik Horneland. Last year, the Greens conceded 77 goals in Ligue 1, that's too much. To reshape its back line, the Board Stéphanois thinks of Tony Strata of AC Ajaccio.
Tony Strata directly holder in Saint-Etienne
The end unfortunately arrives for AC Ajaccio.
Unpaid wages, colossal debts, we are moving to the bankruptcy more than at N1
Not for lack of not having alerted (and the club/cavalli who had answered by saying to attack me in court …)

The Corsican club is in great financial difficulty. Relegated in National 1 by the DNCG this week, AC Ajaccio plans to call. But, for the club that finished 12th in Ligue 2 during the previous year, you must sell. Young Tony Strata could therefore leave. According to Green People, ASSE follows the young Romanian 20 years old. The rear right played 28 Ligue 2 games last season for a goal and three assists. At the end of the contract in 2027, the native of Marseille was estimated at 400,000 euros on TransferMarkt. Still depending on the green people, the player could earn a place as a holder as soon as he arrived. With the probable departure of Yvan Mason, Tony Strata is in competition with Dennis Appiah. The latter could also leave Forez this summer. The Romanian international U21 (six selections) perfectly enters into the policy of recruiting the Greens. It remains to set the price and the future of AC Ajaccio.
