Posted on November 9, 2021 at 1:15 p.m. by AM Given the delicate situation of ASSE, Bernard Caïazzo and Roland Romeyer are considering taking out a loan in order to be able to strengthen Claude Puel's workforce this winter . In great financial difficulty, AS Saint-Etienne had to wait until the last hours of the transfer window to strengthen with the arrival of Ignacio Ramirez , loaned on August 31, but who plays very little. And this situation has an impact on the results of the Greens since the start of the season since the men of Claude Puel are only in 19th place in Ligue 1 and have just snatched their first victory in the season, against Clermont this weekend (3-2). But to ensure its maintenance, ASSE will have to strengthen significantly this winter, which will not be easy given the economic situation of the club. Therefore, according to information from L'Equipe, the ASSE could resolve to take out a loan in order to be able to recruit this winter. Bernard Caïazzo has no intention of injecting money while the € 12M of equity has been used to balance the accounts. But with the departure of five players for the CAN (Bouanga, Moukoudi, Neyou, Khazri and Sow), the Greens are obliged to strengthen themselves in order to remain competitive in the title race, but also in the perspective of the club sale. And for good reason, Bernard Caïazzo refuses to sell ASSE at a discount, which will require a recovery in the sporting situation, and therefore the recruitment of players this winter. The investment made in January could therefore be made profitable at the end of the season by selling the club at a higher price. The ASSE must still be maintained, otherwise the current owners will lose everything.
