Two top clubs interested in signing Arnaud Lusamba: Where's the new experience!

After a single season with Baniyas FC in the UAE, Congolese midfielder Arnaud Lusamba is officially a free agent—and already drawing interest from European clubs. The 28-year-old, born in Metz on January 4, 1997, saw his contract expire on June 30, 2025, marking a mutual departure from the Emirati side.

Lusamba’s career has been a journey of resilience. Despite struggling to cement his place in French football earlier in his career, he found opportunities in Turkey, where he featured for multiple clubs before landing in the UAE last August. Now, fresh off his release, reports suggest Turkish sides Bandırmaspor and Amedspor are keen to bring him back to familiar territory.

Will Turkey be Lusamba’s next stop, or could another surprise move be on the horizon? One thing’s clear: his free-agent status has clubs taking notice.

Great desire to return to European football again

After a brief stint in the UAE with Baniyas FC, Congolese midfielder Arnaud Lusamba is ready for his next challenge - and Europe appears to be calling his name again. The 28-year-old free agent has become a hot commodity in recent days, with multiple clubs vying for his signature.

Turkish sides Bandırmaspor and Amedspor have emerged as frontrunners, having already held preliminary talks with the player's representatives last weekend. But the competition doesn't stop there - sources indicate a French club and a Swiss team have also entered the race, setting the stage for a potential bidding war.

Lusamba's journey has taken him from struggling to establish himself in France to finding his footing in Turkey before his Middle Eastern adventure. Now valued at €1 million by Transfermarkt, the technically-gifted midfielder faces a crucial career decision that could see him return to more familiar European grounds.

With multiple options on the table, the coming weeks will reveal whether Lusamba chooses the Turkish route or opts for a different European challenge to reignite his career. One thing's certain - this free agent won't be without a club for long.
