Promoted to Ligue 1, AJ Auxerre is working to strengthen its squad during the summer transfer window.
In the euphoria of the party, his smile never left him. But like all technicians, Christophe Pélissier is already planning for the future. And the short-term future, for AJ Auxerre, is a summer seen as a turning point in building a competitive squad in Ligue 1.
The Burgundian club does not want to make the same mistakes as two years ago, where the late rise, at the end of an obstacle course in the play-offs, precipitated its choices in terms of transfers. The case of this offseason is very different. Crowned Ligue 2 champion, AJA can anticipate on several issues.
Auxerre aims for an experience environment
With this in mind, Auxerre would have a priority for its midfielder: Laurent Abergel. At 31 years old, this player trained at Olympique de Marseille benefits from significant experience in the elite, an important criterion for the promoted club. He was the captain of FC Lorient this season and is perfectly familiar with the methods of Christophe Pélissier, whom he knew in Brittany.
According to information from L’Equipe, Auxerre would have advanced its pawns on this issue, but the AJA will have to face competition from FC Nantes, which wishes to renew its workforce in great detail after a very chaotic season. Case(s) to be continued…
