A defender of theASSE already wants to extend his contract, while he still has one season left in the Greens jersey. Coveted, he chose to stay in Saint-Etienne.
The first reinforcements from ASSE are expected
ASSE supporters are still waiting to see their team’s first summer recruits arrive. They are impatient and especially curious to discover the real ambitions of the Kilmer Sports group, owner of the club since June 3, 2024. In any case, AS Saint-Etienne needs to strengthen itself properly, in order to avoid immediately going back down to Ligue 2.
To do this, Ivan Gazidis and his colleagues are therefore on the job. The new Saint-Etienne leaders have already agreed with Yunus Abdelhamid (central defender, 36 years old). They have also completed the arrival of I’m Old (winger, 21 years old), while waiting for the officialization. The first will commit freely, while the second will be the subject of a transfer from Wellington Phoenix, in New Zealand.

ASSE: Yvann Maçon highly coveted in Ligue 1
Unwanted at ASSE, for a time, Yvann Maçon was loaned, first to Paris FC (December 2022 to June 2023) then to Maccabi Tel-Aviv (July 2023 to January 2024). His one-season loan in Israel even came with a purchase option. But the defender returned to Saint-Etienne after half a season, following the Israeli-Hamas crisis. Unexpected in Ligue 2, he nevertheless managed to establish himself in Olivier Dall’Oglio’s team.
The versatile full-back (right or left) played 18 of the 19 matches in the second half of the championship and started 17 times. He also contributed to ASSE’s rise to the top flight, taking part in the play-off match against Rodez AF (2-0) and the play-offs against FC Metz (2-1 and 2-2). Thanks to his performances and consistency, Yvann Maçon has attracted recruiters. “He is now attracting interest from several Ligue 1 clubs”according to the source.
