The transfer situation of Wahbi Khazri to Saint-Etienne took an unexpected turn when Bastia, the club Khazri currently plays for, issued a press release denying any contact with Saint-Etienne. This contradicted the expectations of the Tunisian international, who expressed a desire to join Saint-Etienne and experience the atmosphere of their stadium, the Chaudron.
Khazri, a midfielder for the Carthage Eagles, now feels he has the right to explore other options in the French championship or elsewhere. He mentioned that he had agreed to a contract extension last summer with the understanding that he would be allowed to leave for free under certain conditions.
In an interview with L’Equipe, Khazri expressed his confusion and disappointment regarding the stance of Bastia’s leadership. He claimed that the club did not respect its commitments and mentioned a signed document indicating the president’s promise that he could leave for a certain amount. Khazri feels disappointed and believes that, despite his contributions to the club, he is not being treated with the respect he deserves. He emphasized the importance of keeping promises in football transfers and expressed his desire for a calm resolution to the situation.
