A major player in the rise of the Greens last season with 8 goals in Ligue 2, Irvin Cardona will return to Forez during the winter transfer window.

AS Saint-Etienne supporters couldn’t have hoped for better news to start their weekend. A major player in the Greens’ comeback in Ligue 1 last year, Irvin Cardona will make his comeback at Geoffroy-Guichard. According to information from insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter, the negotiations are very advanced and should be concluded in the days to come. “The Saint-Etienne board is about to finalize the return of Irvin Cardona to Saint-Étienne! Unless the situation turns around, the deal should materialize. What’s very funny is that it didn’t correspond to the Saint-Etienne club’s data system. Eirik Horneland was very, very excited” published our colleague.

Irvin Cardona returns to ASSE

It now remains to be seen how Irvin Cardona will join ASSE while he is currently on loan from Augsburg to Espagnyol Barcelona. The 27-year-old striker, scorer of 8 goals with ASSE in Ligue 2 last year, hardly plays in Spain, and Espanyol should therefore agree to break his loan. The question now is whether he will be loaned again by Augsburg to Saint-Etienne or whether the Forézien club will definitely recruit him this time. Whatever happens, one of Geoffroy-Guichard’s favorites is going to make a comeback and it’s a real offensive weapon that Erik Horneland is picking up in the race to stay this month of January.
