Posted on November 19, 2021 at 7:00 am by AD In great difficulty financially, ASSE had to resolve to let Wesley Fofana go to Leicester in the summer of 2020. This Thursday evening, Claude Puel gave himself up on this huge loss for the Greens. Arrived on the bench of ASSE in October 2019, Claude Puel suffered a big loss a year later. While the Greens were in great difficulty economically, Wesley Fofana was sold to Leicester for a sum close to 35M € in the summer of 2020. And yet, Claude Puel would have done everything possible to block his departure. Knowing that he finds himself with his back to the wall today with the ASSE , the French technician returned to the departure of Wesley Fofana. “Since my arrival, we have to face a lot of things. The sporting aspect is closely linked to the economic aspect. We started with a model renewal because ASSE had to go into very heavy debt to build its team and have a high-performance team at that time. When I arrived, ASSE no longer had the possibility of renewing itself and of assets to ensure the salaries which had been given. It was therefore an obligation to open the door immediately to certain young people, to give them time to play, to train them, to create assets when needed, to be able to sell them to fill deficits and this is unfortunately what we had to do with Wesley Fofana in the first year. He stabilized us and I remember that we were first with three wins and a draw when he was there. It was a big loss for us and we saw the player he was ”, confided Claude Puel, the coach of ASSE , during a interview given to Rothen ignites (RMC Sport).
