Saint-Etienne has made the recruitment of Noé Lebreton its short-term transfer window priority. But, Caen does not want to let go of its midfielder in the midst of the fight to remain in Ligue 2. The Greens have perhaps found the ideal formula for this transfer.
Despite the precarious situation of AS Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1, the new recruitment unit is not changing its strategy in the transfer window. It relies on young talents, who are often unearthed via data. The last target of the Greens is Noé Lebreton, the young defensive midfielder from Caen. An executive at the Norman club, the 20-year-old player is progressing quickly in Ligue 2. Suffice it to say that Malherbe, 17th and penultimate in the championship, cannot afford to let Lebreton slip away. The standoff began between Saint-Etienne and Caen, the latter having already refused a first offer.
Lebreton in Saint-Etienne next summer?
Aware of Lebreton's potential and the risk that another club will quickly pick him up, ASSE first wants to secure the transfer of the young Frenchman. With this in mind, she thought about the perfect transfer for both clubs according to information from The Team. Saint-Etienne wants to buy Noé Lebreton from Caen then immediately loan him to Malherbe for the end of the season. Saint-Etienne supporters would then have to wait 6 months to recover one of the most promising talents in Ligue 2, but it will be worth it if the young man's potential is confirmed at the higher level.
