Coveted in the transfer window by ASSE and Strasbourg, Nanasi chose

This week, Sébastian Nanasi was seen near Malmö. The attacking midfielder who has been enjoying success since the start of the season with Strasbourg was invited by his coach to go to Sweden to celebrate the 24th title in the club's history.

A title in which he fully participated, shining in the sky blue jersey for a good part of the season, before arousing desire this summer in Europe and particularly in France with Strasbourg but also Saint-Étienne. His coach offered him a “break” as he explained in a pre-match press conference so that he could join in the party: “I saw that his club was going to celebrate the title. I said to myself that it was the right time and an important moment for Sébastian Nanasi to go and celebrate this title with a team with whom he played almost 3/4 of the season. the season. He is a player who has already played 32 games, he is not at the same level as the others. I am very focused on the mental recovery and the mental well-being of the players. “It's a good thing that he's going to celebrate this title with his old club and his former teammates.”

The English technician then returned to signing the player this summer, for an amount estimated at €11M, despite significant competition in Europe but also in France where Saint-Étienne wanted him. Liam Rosenior reveals that the game project he presented to him weighed in his choice: “The first time I had contact with him via facetime, what struck me beyond the quality of the player was his entourage behind him. They were very curious to know the philosophy of play, what I wanted to put in place because they were very focused on the development of the player's career. It was not only Saint-Étienne on him but also big European clubs. The meeting I had with. him to explain to him what I wanted to put in place, I think that was the key to convincing the player to come to a system that would suit him in order to be able to develop and continue his progression.”

The little trip to Sweden ended on Wednesday for Nanasi who returned to the RCSA coach on Thursday.
