Former ASSE track during the club's last seasons in the second division, Antoine Léautey took stock of his future for the site “le11hdf”. The Amiens player once again mentioned the rumors sending him to Forez during the last transfer window periods. Excerpts.
A year and a half ago, ASSE was trying to build a team to move up to Ligue 1. Among the solutions considered to strengthen the squad during the transfer window, the name of Antoine Léautey had been mentioned to replace Niels Nkounkou. The Amiens player ultimately never joined the Greens.
The departure of the left piston to Frankfurt seemed inevitable and ASSE had to find a replacement. Performing on the side of Amiens, the name of Antoine Léautey was mentioned insistently during the summer of 2023. The ASC player was retained by his club which did not wish to lose one of its best elements.
Léautey takes stock of his future
“Whether I tell you yes or no, people are not going to believe me. In truth, you can never know. There is nothing concrete today. On the 29th, no club can be interested in us and have three offers on the 30th. Those who say they are staying with certainty, apart from if the club blocks, we cannot know. If Real Madrid comes, I will not close the door (smile). If it's to go to another Ligue 2 club, I'm not interested. I feel good in Amiens. It all depends on what can happen in terms of supply. In any case, I'm very good here, the grass is not necessarily greener elsewhere.“
No regrets about not coming to ASSE
“No, I have no regrets (about his not coming to ASSE). I cannot say that my final decision was not accepted. In the end, as it happened, I'm even glad I wasn't there, for different reasons. This can be disturbing when it is publicized. If I take my example, it was all the time when I was linked to Saint-Etienne. And again, it was not the start of the championship. When it's not publicized, I don't think it can disturb, even young players… As long as nothing is signed, nothing is acted on in football. So you have to know how to take a step back.“
