Saint-Etienne has ruled out the possibility of signing Wahbi Kharzi, and he is not the only player facing this situation. Anthony Mounier of Montpellier is also in a similar position. The Stéphanois, in need of a midfielder, is finalizing the acquisition of Franck Tabanou from Toulouse.
Despite Bastia expressing a desire for a prompt exit due to conflicts with its leadership, Saint-Etienne had made an offer. However, the president of the ASSE board of directors, Roland Romeyer, stated, “We agreed on 1.8 million euros with President Pierre-Marie Geronimi. But he never called us back. Now it’s over! We need a top striker, that’s all.”
