Paris Saint-Germain’s Jeremy Clement being tracked by Saint-Etienne – Ligue 1 news
Reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 suggest that out-of-favour Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, Jeremy Clement, is attracting interest from Saint-Etienne and is likely to leave Parc des Princes in the coming days.
The 26-year-old midfielder has been at the capital-club for the past three seasons and before the 2010/2011 Ligue 1 season, commanded a regular place in the PSG starting XI. However, the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Bodmer-c24679 from Olympique de Lyonnais last summer and
the breakthrough of 23-year-old Clement Chantome saw the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 man struggle for regular game time at the Parisien club. In the now concluded 2010/11 Ligue 1 season, Clement made just eight starts in twenty four appearances in the Ligue 1.
After the recent retirement of Claude Makelele, it was expected that Clement might get more playing time next season. However, recent rumours suggest that Les Girondins de Bordeaux midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alou-Diarra-c5259, might join PSG this summer, which would mean that
Clement will surely struggle to find regular game time next season. Furthermore following Clement Chantome’s breakthrough season, the youngster is likely to be preferred ahead of Jeremy Clement in the upcoming term; Clement might be deemed surplus to requirements
at Parc des Princes.
Moreover, the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Investment Authority means that the club will be looking to offload few players in order to make room for their transfer targets. All these changes at the club have almost put an end to Clement’s career with Les Parisiens,
and the Frenchman is also looking to find a club where he would be able to get more regular time.
Reports now suggest that Rhone-Alpes based Ligue 1 outfit, Saint-Etienne, are willing to take the experienced midfielder to Stade Geoffroy-Guichard ahead of the 2011/12 season kick-off. Manager of Les Verts, Christophe Galtier, sees the former Lyon man as
a valuable addition to the squad and is considering making an offer for Clement.
Rumours also suggest that vice-captain of the Stephanois, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Blaise-Matuidi-c7681, might leave the club this summer if his contractual status is not reviewed. The Frenchman’s departure would leave a big hole in Saint-Etienne’s midfield and Clement seems to be the
most likely candidate to replace the 24-year-old defensive midfielder.
