The Sale Of ASSE Announced, The Big Update
It is agitated, again, with regard to the sale of ASSE. Returning to France, Bernard Caïazzo would hold interviews to find a buyer. With Roland Romeyer, he hopes to complete this file before the summer. While there are many rumors in this case, the chairman of the ASSE supervisory board took the floor to make things clear.
Roland Romeyer had not lied. During an interview with France-Bleu a few days ago, the leader of ASSE announced that the sale of the club was still relevant. And according to L’Equipe, certain movements have been observed in this file. Two buyout offers were reportedly sent. One would come from an Anglo-Saxon investor, the other from a French businessman. “It’s stirring again. Caïazzo took advantage of the PSG/Lens match to discuss with Joseph Oughourlian, who is trying to find him a buyer,” confided Bernard Lions, journalist for L’Equipe. The latter clarified that potential buyers had to backtrack after learning that the club was sold. Discreet for several months, Bernard Caïazzo, the other strong man of ASSE, took the floor to discuss his relationship with Joseph Oughourlian, president of RC Lens.
Caïazzo Emerges From The Silence
“In Lens, with the president, we did not discuss the sale. We talked about the time when ASSE was behind Lens then when ASSE was in Ligue 1 in the top 5 and Lens in Ligue 2. Joseph Oughourlian replied to me that the Lensois hoped for the return of the Greens among the elite because the big clubs never die” confided the chairman of the ASSE supervisory board in an interview with Le Progrès.
Two Buyout Offers Were Reportedly Sent
But in a second step, Caïazzo confirms that his club has regained a certain attractiveness. “The current good results have revived interest in the club,” said the Saint-Etienne leader. For now, priority is given to the land. But at the end of the season, a new game could start behind the scenes. Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo seem more determined than ever to leave their place. They hope to complete this file before the summer.
