ASSE would likely have abandoned the track leading to Rennes midfielder Baptiste Santamaria.
At the start of the winter transfer window, Stade Rennais midfielder Baptiste Santamaria was an avenue explored by the leaders of AS Saint-Étienne to strengthen Eirik Horneland's midfield. But at the time of writing, an arrival of the former Angevin in Sainté this winter seems very unlikely.
Santamaria is too expensive for ASSE in terms of salary
Already because the 29-year-old would favor a departure abroad this winter after a first experience in Friborg during the 2020-2021 season, as we learned from Le Progrès on January 1. But also, and this is information from Foot Mercato journalist, Sébastien Denis, ASSE would have simply fled in this matter in the face of the salary requested by Baptiste Santamaria. But now dismissed by Jorge Sampaoli and placed in a loft in Rennes, the native of Saint-Doulchard would not have too many courtiers, apart from ASSE, which would no longer even be one.
