Mathis Amougou is currently on the bench at Strasbourg, and AS Saint-Étienne is closely monitoring the situation of their former midfielder, seriously considering his return on loan. According to Livefoot, AS Saint-Étienne has maintained regular contact with the player's entourage. The scenario being considered is a loan for next season, which would allow Amougou to get more playing time and confidence in a familiar environment, while providing Saint-Étienne with a promising reinforcement in midfield. A major condition is the promotion of Saint-Étienne to Ligue 1. If BlueCo agrees to a new loan for Mathis Amougou, AS Saint-Étienne could take action in the summer transfer market.

According to Livefoot, Saint-Étienne is interested in having former youth player Mathis Amougou return. The club is actively seeking a midfield reinforcement to help with their effort to be promoted to Ligue 1, particularly after the departure of Pierre Ekwah. Amougou, who left Saint-Étienne for Chelsea in the winter of 2025, has not played frequently since moving to Strasbourg, a satellite club of the London side, having made only three Ligue 1 appearances this season. A six-month loan during the winter transfer window is being considered as a move that could benefit the 19-year-old's career while providing immediate value to Saint-Étienne.
