AS Saint-Etienne still has needs in several sectors of the game, and dreams of making a promising move against SM Caen, in great difficulty in Ligue 2.
In great difficulty in Ligue 2, SM Caen sees the project led by Kylian Mbappé starting very slowly. The summer of 2024 with the takeover of the club in the background had been very complicated, and this was confirmed with a place in the depths and the dismissal of Nicolas Seube. Since then, things have clearly not been better for the Norman club, which needs to strengthen itself to avoid a terrible relegation to the National. Malherbe could thus draw from the Le Havre neighbor to recover Samuel Grandsir, very little used by Didier Digard.
A gem from Caen among the Greens?
But despite its bad patch, Caen still has several players who make elite clubs salivate. Tidiam Gomis is closely followed by Aston Villa and OM, but midfielder Noé Lebreton is now in the sights of AS Saint-Etienne, says L'Equipe. A loss that would really hurt Malherbe as the native of La-Haye-Pesnel has established himself in the midfield. The idea of playing in Ligue 1 could well appeal to the player, even if Caen tries to completely oppose this transfer, explaining that all the strength was necessary to seek maintenance. Especially since Yann M'Vila is injured and has missed the last 15 matches, which does not make life easier for the Norman club. Unless they go all out with an offer of several million euros, the Greens will have a hard time getting Noé Lebreton, even if ASSE is also capable of making efforts with its new owners. Given the talent of the young midfielder, this is a file to watch in any case.
