In five days, AS Saint-Etienne will find Ligue 2 a season after leaving it. A blow for the Stéphanois who did not intend to leave the French elite so quickly. And even before the recovery, a new setback could come up on the Greens and their supporters.
ASSE could lose its midfielder, Benjamin Bouchouari. First of all announced on the side of Turkey and more specifically to Trabzon for an amount between 3.5 million euros and 4.5 million euros, the player could finally stay in France and take the direction of a Ligue 1 club.
However, the new destination of the player should not appeal to the Stéphanois. The Moroccan could engage in … Olympique Lyonnais. Indeed, according to information from Foot transfer windowthe Rhone club would appreciate the profile of Bouchouari. For his part, The people of the Rhône Even said that the player and OL would have reached an agreement.
First ASSE player transferred to OL since Gomis?
Arrived at ASSE in 2022, the midfielder became a centerpiece of the eleven Stéphanois. Under contract until June 2026, a departure this summer would not be surprising given the club's situation. Benjamin Bouchouari has played a total of 96 matches in the green jersey, all competitions combined.
If the transaction takes place, it would be the first Stéphanois to be directly transferred to Lyon after Bafetimbi Gomis in 2009. Case to follow.
