Beyond the immediate stakes on the pitch, reports suggest Sasse’s future at the club is also on the line.
According to M&M News, the Brazilian forward could leave at the end of the season, with his long-term status tied to Espérance’s continental performance.
His current contract runs until June 2026, but failure to progress may influence renewal talks.
Sasse has recorded seven goals and one assist in 30 Champions League appearances but is still chasing his first continental title with the club.
