After seeing two arrivals with the signing of Cardona on loan and the return of Macon, AS Saint-Étienne will see departures this winter transfer window: Gaëtan Charbonnier leaves the club.
Sports coordinator of the club Loïc Perrin As said during Irvin Cardona’s presentation, the winter transfer window will not only be about arrivals at AS Saint-Étienne, the club is also working on departures: “Yes, there could be departures in the transfer window, we saw certain players, we saw it with them. It is also possible that there will be departures, after which it is no longer up to us.“
The first departure will take place at AS Saint-Étienne: as Mohamed Toubache-Ter announced last night, Gaëtan Charbonnier he will leave AS Saint-Étienne to join another Ligue 2 team, Sporting Club de Bastia, where he has a one-and-a-half-year contract waiting for him in Corsica. Our colleagues from Progress at the same time, he claimed the Saint-Etienne forward should be released by the club, which would reduce his wage bill, as we mentioned this morning. According to our information, the individual parties were still negotiating this departure today.
The coach of AS Saint-Étienne asked about his group at the Laval reception on Saturday afternoon at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium (15:00). Olivier Dall’Oglio confirmed the departure of his attacker Gaëtan Charbonnier which will therefore not appear among the called-up players this weekend: “A charcoal maker? Yes, he will leave. It happened very quickly, I only got the information this morning.”
A question on the timing of this departure, while the coach asked for patience Irvin Cardona who just arrived without playing much in Germany and whoIbrahim Wadji is still unavailable for the competition, the one who could return to Pau, Olivier Dall’Oglio explains the timing difficulties that the winter transfer window can involve:Even for players it is not always easy to know that you will go from one club to another, to know what attention you will get in your club in the meantime… The timing is not always good, but it is. This is often the case in the transfer window. Yes, I’d rather have him at 100% than be between two clubs and the risk of injury is always a consideration.”
