AS Saint-Étienne has announced that Brice Maubleu will not continue with the club next season. The 36-year-old goalkeeper, who joined Saint-Étienne in August 2024, has rejected a contract extension offer to join Pau in Ligue 2. Maubleu, who was a backup to Gautier Larsonneur this season, played limited minutes, totaling only 10 appearances across all competitions. However, he made a significant impact during the Ligue 2 playoffs, being decisive in the penalty shootout against Rodez, which allowed the Greens to compete in the Ligue 1 playoff against Nice. Despite his limited role, Maubleu has chosen to stay in the second division and take on a new challenge with Pau. This transfer marks a turning point in his career as he seeks more playing time and aims to relaunch his professional football journey.
