Looking for a left-back to strengthen its team, AS Saint-Étienne quickly made Fodé Ballo-Touré its summer priority. A complex case for a player with a high salary in Milan, but made possible by the player’s desire to come and the efforts he was prepared to make, particularly from a financial point of view.
According to our information, the 27-year-old Senegalese international was ready to divide his Milanese salary by two and left the Lombard club for free. For its part, ASSE was uncompromising and wanted the player to make even more efforts. The rest is history and finally the Greens fell back on Pierre Cornud from Maccabi Haifa. For his part, the former AS Monaco player is still on the market and has contacts in Germany and England.
