The current leaders of AS Saint-Étienne showed a smile in the form of relief Friday evening, after the victory of the Greens against Rodez, in the play-off match (2-0). On the one hand, because after missing three match points during the Ligue 2 regular season, their ambition to come back in two years still remains relevant. On the other hand, because the finalization of the sale of the club to the Canadian group Kilmer Sports Ventures continues without a hitch behind the scenes. “It is 99% complete,” confide two of the participants in the file. There is therefore no urgency to make it official. In the minds of sellers and buyers alike, this week must remain that of players.
