AS Saint-Étienne rejects Premier League offer for defender Kevin Pedro

AS Saint-Étienne has rejected a formal transfer offer for 20-year-old defender Kevin Pedro. The proposal, reportedly submitted by a Premier League club, was deemed insufficient by the club's leadership, including president Ivan Gazidis.

Pedro, a key figure in the current squad under manager Ian Cathro, has attracted interest from both English and French top-flight clubs. While the club has turned down the initial bid, they remain open to negotiations if a more substantial financial offer is presented before the transfer window closes.

In addition to the Pedro situation, Saint-Étienne is adjusting its summer recruitment strategy. The club is currently focusing on securing at least one more player, specifically targeting an attacker, following the recent signing of Elyes Dhoui. The club is also managing several potential departures to refine its roster.
