The contract between the city of Lille and the French football club AS Saint-Etienne has been renewed until 2027, with a significant increase in the salary of the team's players.
As part of the new agreement, the salary of each player on the squad will be increased by 50%, making it one of the highest salaries in France's top flight. This is a major boost for the club, which had previously struggled to attract high-quality talent due to its lower wages compared to other clubs in the country.
The move is also expected to have a positive impact on the club's performance on the pitch, as the players will be motivated by higher salaries and better compensation packages. It remains to be seen how this will affect the team's results, but it is clear that the club is investing heavily in its future.
In addition to the salary increases, the new contract also includes improvements to the training facilities and stadium, as well as measures to improve the overall working conditions for the players and staff. These changes are aimed at ensuring that the club can compete effectively in the league and attract top talent from across Europe.
Overall, the renewal of the contract with AS Saint-Etienne is a significant step forward for the club, and it is hoped that it will help the team achieve greater success in the years ahead.
