Jaeson Rosenfeld and Huss Fahmy are hard at work building a team capable of remaining in Ligue 1 next season. Among the strong elements of this rise in the French elite, Aïmen Moueffek, trained at the club, embodies the symbol of an ASSE focused on the future and performance. At the end of the contract on June 30, its extension is long overdue…
We left Aïmen Moueffek with words of joy. It was just after the play-off victory against Metz, on June 2nd. It’s incredible, it’s an immense source of pride. We went down two years ago and we had to get the club back to where it should be. Now, with this rise, we must especially thank the supporters. »
However, it is on another subject that supporters were waiting for Moueffek to speak: that of his future. The real driving force behind this rise. An essential pawn in Olivier Dall’Oglio’s system, the young midfielder trained at the club had not yet extended his lease ending at the end of June. Two days before the deadline, still no progress. At least on the front. However, the player’s wishes were clear and clear on June 2: “I want to extend at Saint-Étienne. Now that the objective has been achieved, we will sit down, discuss and think about my future. But that will be later. Thank you to everyone, thank you to the green people who followed us all season. All this today is for them and we thank them again. This is my 13th year here. I arrived at 11 years old, I’ve seen everything, I was a ball boy, I was a supporter, now I’m a player and I’m building the club. It’s a source of immense pride and I’m super happy. »

Since then, discussions have taken place and reflection has progressed. The new leaders also learned about the hottest issues, and this is one of them. Time for negotiations.
A few days ago, Foot Mercato indicated that Aïmen Moueffek “had a meeting with the management of Saint-Etienne to discuss its future”. A crucial meeting for a courted player, in France, but also abroad. This meeting did indeed take place, and Foot Mercato affirms that at the end of this meeting, “the trend is clearly towards an extension for the Moroccan international hopeful. The different parties discussed a new 4-year contract with an optional year. The new leaders see him as a key element in the new project. An agreement could be reached in the coming hours. »
Excellent news for a club that wants to rely on youth and its strengths. According to our information, the family circle weighed in this choice. So there is a good chance that Moueffek’s extension will be announced quickly…
