No, ASSE will not be yet another trading club in Ligue 1. This is in any case the message that Roland Romeyer wanted to convey this Wednesday in L'Equipe . Two days before the Coupe de France final between the Greens and PSG, the president of the management board of the Saint-Etienne club said he wanted to "change the sporting model".

"Our desire is to rely more on young people with high potential, supervised by experienced players," he says. Hence the significant resources put by the Greens to convince the promising attacking midfielder of PSG Adil Aouchiche (18) to sign his first professional contract in the Forez on Monday.

“The regret that we have, particularly with Claude Puel, is to have sold William Saliba [for around 30 million euros to Arsenal], a youngster with great potential, last summer, admits Roland Romeyer. So there is no longer any question of selling our best young people. "The Stéphanois leader also assures that a sale of Wesley Fofana (19 years) or Denis Bouanga (25 years) is" not at all possible ".
