While the Saint-Etienne management accelerates the winter transfer window to complete several recruits, discussions to extend Mathis Amougou are bogged down. To the point of losing the ASSE nugget in the coming months?

ASSE supporters are rubbing their hands. Requested by the Green People last summer, Irvin Cardona is heading back to Forez! The Augsburg striker, loaned to Saint-Etienne a year ago and great architect of the rise to Ligue 1, returns to the club again. In a few hours, his long-awaited comeback should be made official. But the smiles within the club could quickly be lost in another file, that of Mathis Amougou.
Amougou refuses to extend?
Launched into the deep end of Ligue 1 at the age of 18, Mathis Amougou has successfully completed his baptism of fire. But with a contract running until June 2026, it is impossible for ASSE to remain in this situation. Since the start of the season and the rise of their nugget, the Greens have been discussing an extension. But according to L'Equipe, the file is at an impasse!
Departure in summer 2025?
Managed by the Classico agency, Mathis Amougou could organize his departure for the summer of 2025. At 18 years old, this departure seems premature, given his age but also his meager experience. The midfielder only has half a season of Ligue 1 in his legs… For ASSE, if the scenario of a departure is confirmed, it would be a big air conditioning on the new ambition of the club and its leaders. Amougou is a child of the Greens, trained and shaped by the club. Seeing him leave through the back door, one year from the end of his contract, would be a real cold shower.
