Best passer and third top scorer in Ligue 2, Jean-Philippe Krasso is at the end of his contract at AS Saint-Etienne. The Greens want to extend it, but nothing is signed.
The Saint-Etienne leaders are determined to aim for a return to Ligue 1 next season. And for that, it is necessary to provide Laurent Battles with the best possible workforce. This year, ASSE counted on a player who dominated the debates, Jean-Philippe Krasso. At 25, the Ivorian international was not far from signing the feat of finishing top scorer and best provider in Ligue 2. Only Georges Mikautadze (23 goals) and Alexandre Mendy (19 goals) did better than the native of stuttgart. The only problem for Saint-Etienne, the one who arrived freely from Épinal in 2020 is coming to the end of his contract. And Jean-Philippe Krasso’s situation has attracted other clubs, including in Saudi Arabia. However, in this file, ASSE has found colors.
ASSE made a great offer to Krasso

While for several weeks, and faced with the refusal of Jean-Philippe Krasso to extend, pessimism was in order, the mood has changed in Forez. And the TeamFootball site even believes that seeing the Ivorian striker stay longer with the Greens would not be the surprise of the century. ” The fact that AS Saint-Étienne has returned to the charge with attractive salary and signing bonus offers has won over its agent Alexandre Reta (Hagen Sport Management). The balance now leans towards a sequel to the adventure of Geoffroy Guichard… “, explains the media. Something to give hope to the Green People, aware of the impact that Jean-Philippe Krasso’s extension to ASSE could have.
