Arriving last summer with the objective of stabilizing the defense of AS Saint-Étienne, Yunis Abdelhamid could already be packing up. The Moroccan international, who joined the Greens free of any contract after several solid seasons at Stade de , did not convince the staff or the Saint-Etienne supporters. At 37, his future seems to lie far from Geoffroy-Guichard.

A mixed result despite the experience

Abdelhamid was expected to be a safe bet, thanks to his experience and his defensive rigor. However, in 15 days of Ligue 1, he has only started 11 times, without managing to establish himself as an essential leader. His performances, deemed insufficient, fueled criticism in a context where ASSE is struggling to regain its former glory. The club's desire to renew its workforce and focus on younger profiles could accelerate its departure.

Towards a transfer from January?

According to The Teamthe Saint-Etienne leaders would consider a winter transfer to recover compensation and free up space in the squad. A strategic decision, especially since Abdelhamid's contract expires next June. This option also seems motivated by a general dynamic of reconstruction, while the club tries to emerge from a complicated season on a sporting level.

The departure of Yunis Abdelhamid would mark the end of a failed bet for Saint-Étienne, who will quickly have to find an alternative in central defense. It remains to be seen whether the player will find a suitable exit during the winter transfer window.


Supporter of En Avant de Guingamp, the best of the Breton clubs, I prefer to meet Yannis Salibur, Cristophe Kerbrat or Jeremy Sorbon rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos.
