Saint-Etienne are poised to sell France midfielder Josuha Guilavogui to Atletico Madrid in a deal reportedly worth up to 12 million euros, the Ligue 1 club's president said Sunday.

Saint-Etienne will then use the funds from that transfer to bring in Rennes striker Mevlut Erding and Nancy winger Yohan Mollo, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Stade Geoffrey-Guichard, Roland Romeyer confirmed.

He also revealed the club were interested in signing Esbjerg's Danish defender Peter Ankersen with left-back Faouzi Ghoulam's future uncertain.

The club recently turned down offers from Torino and Malaga for the Algeria international, who could still leave the club before the end of the transfer window.
