10 days from the end of the transfer window, the situation continues to be tense between AS Saint-Etienne and Niels Nkounkou. If the French international hopeful returned to the field last weekend with the Greens against QRM (2-1), the former Marseillais wants to leave more than ever, as he had explained to the press there. a few weeks. Only problem, ASSE is inflexible. According to our information, the Forez club has also refused a new offer from Eintracht Frankfurt in recent days. An offer greater than the €6 million already offered in July. The Ligue 2 club have told their German counterpart that they want €10m. A sum, at the time of writing his lines, which remains for the moment non-negotiable.
The next few days promise to be decisive, especially since Frankfurt really wants to secure the services of this very promising left side who had achieved six convincing months in L2 last year (6 goals, 8 assists). Whistled by a large part of Geoffroy Guichard’s public, Niels Nkounkou, usually so efficient on his left side, did not particularly shine, contenting himself with the minimum service. Loïc Perrin and Jean-François Soucasse will have to wonder about the interest of keeping a player against his will. As a reminder, the Greens have exercised the option to buy the player of € 2.5 million from Everton against his will and must pay 30% of the capital gain made to the English team in the event of a transfer.
