During the last summer transfer window, ASSE tried for a long time to secure the signature of Matthieu Udol, captain and pillar of FC Metz. An avenue that is still relevant for the Greens still looking for defensive reinforcements?
Things were very clear during the last summer transfer window between Matthieu Udol and ASSE. The defender and captain of FC Metz wanted to come to Forez and the Saint-Etienne club did everything possible to ensure that the file was successful. But the two parties came up against a third… FC Metz. The Metz leaders stood in the way and held on until the end. Matthieu Udol remained in Moselle and continues to be the pillar of the project.
ASSE still interested?
As the winter transfer window approaches, where is the Matthieu Udol track on the ASSE side? The player still interests Olivier Dall'Oglio, at the origin of this file. Udol's experience, as well as his versatility, are elements that are currently lacking in the Forezian squad.
Contact maintained
Behind the scenes, contact was maintained between the representatives of Matthieu Udol and those of ASSE. No concrete steps have been made since last summer with FC Metz but it is very possible that ASSE will return to the charge this winter. And Kilmer Group could have more convincing financial arguments than those of last August…
