Posted on January 4, 2022 at 10 p.m. by AM While Zinedine Ferhat is in the sights of ASSE, a surprising operation could be mounted to attract the Algerian international. This winter, the ASSE intends to strengthen, especially in the offensive sector. With this in mind, Bakary Sako is committed until the end of the season, but Pascal Dupraz still waiting for other players. This is how the track leading to Zinedine Ferhat has circulated in recent days since his contract in Nîmes ends next June. However, ASSE cannot consider any other option than a free loan, which seems impossible given the contractual situation of the Algerian international, highly coveted on the market. Therefore, Bernard Lions launches the idea of a win-win operation sending Zinedine Ferhat to Montpellier this winter before being loaned until the end of the season with the Greens. “The Greens want him to come. Financially you can assume his salary of 60,000 € gross per month. The problem is you have to see what physical condition he is because he's been playing more than two months. Another problem, he is free in six months and when you are free in six months, you do not go on loan. So the ideal arrangement would be for him to sign in Montpellier for next season and be loaned to Saint-Étienne free of charge for 6 months, ”assures the L'Equipe journalist, guest of the Sainté Night Club Twitch channel. An operation that could satisfy everyone since Nîmes would recover a small transfer fee for a free player in six months, Montpellier would make sure to get ahead of the competition and ASSE would have a solid reinforcement for the second part of the season.
