ASSE Mercato: a first avenue emerges for the defensive midfielder position this winter

Eager to strengthen themselves in January, the Greens would have their sights set on French midfielder Fortuna Sittard Loreintz Rosier (26 years old).

As revealed on our site in recent hours, the Saint-Etienne management does not intend to invest in experienced players this winter. And this while Olivier Dall'Oglio would really need elements of this profile to lead the maintenance operation more calmly. Kilmer Sports wants to continue to rely on data to attract promising young people at low costs, who can subsequently be resold at a high price. It didn't particularly work with the summer batch since most of the current ASSE starters were already at the club in 2023-24. But the new owners want to persevere on this path and they will not change their course of action…

A future Rosier-Ekwah duo in recovery?

According to Le Progrès, ASSE has its sights set on Loreintz Rosier. This 26-year-old defensive midfielder trained at Sochaux before leaving for Guimaraes (2018-20), Estoril Praia (2020-23) and Fortuna Sittard. In the Netherlands, he became one of the best players in his position. His profile, both physical (1.90m) and technical, earned him interest from several Eredivisie clubs but also from abroad, notably from AS Saint-Etienne. He is also capable of projecting himself in attack, evidenced by the fact that he has scored once and provided two assists since the start of the season. According to Transfermarkt, it would be worth €1.3 million.

An arrival this winter would mean that Olivier Dall'Oglio could play with two very good defensive midfielders since he can already count on Pierre Ekwah. Except that he recently changed his tactical system so that the player on loan from Sunderland can slot in in central defense on opposing attacks. The recruitment of Rosier would certainly force him to review his plans once again…
