Saint-Etienne fix price for highly sought-after Blaise Matuidi – Ligue 1 news
Ligue 1 side, Saint-Etienne, have set the asking price of highly-sought-after midfielder Blaise Matuidi as they look to make profit from the eventual sale of the highly-rated midfielder.
The youngster is currently under the radar of a host of Ligue 1 and other European clubs. Ambitious fellow Ligue 1 outfit, Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly looking to make a bid for the former Troyes man. The 24-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international has been coined
the ‘new Claude Makelele’ and PSG, after the retirement of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 man, are looking to find a replacement. Reports now suggest that the Parisiens consider Matuidi to be an excellent addition to the squad.
In order to finance their activity in the transfer market, Saint-Etienne have reportedly decided to sell their star player should a good offer come their way. President of Les Verts, Roland Romeyer, while talking to the media expressed his dissatisfaction
at the way PSG are approaching his players. In the January transfer window, PSG tried to steal http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitri-Payet-c11276 from the club and Monsieur Romeyer is not willing to let this happen again.
“We have not received any proposal. Rule is that you contact the club that owns the player before the player himself. However, PSG seem to do things the other way round,” said an agitated Romeyer before saying that the club will not settle for less than
15 million Euros for the player.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Blaise-Matuidi-c7681 made 22 appearances for Les Verts in the now concluded 2010/11 Ligue 1 season. The youngster missed 16 games for Saint-Etienne due to various injuries and his absence cost Saint-Etienne a place in the UEFA Champions League. In spite of his
injury worries, the Toulouse-born France international had a good campaign for Les Verts and could be on his way out of the club this summer.
The youngster has also expressed his desire to test himself somewhere else and a move to PSG could turn out to be a good one for Matuidi. The start of the transfer window has been largely dominated by Les Parisiens who now have the financial muscle to compete
for the best players in France and in other European leagues. Furthermore, after paying almost 15 million Euros to Lorient for the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Gameiro-c20721, PSG might make another move of the same amount for a youngster who they have been monitoring for a
long time.
