Silvere Ganvoula has left AC Monza to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Fayha, bringing an early end to his short stay in Italian football.
The Congolese striker, who signed for Monza with hopes of revitalising his career, struggled to make an impact in Serie A.
He featured in seven league matches and once in the Coppa Italia without scoring, a barren run that ultimately sealed his exit from the club.
Born in 1996, Ganvoula joined the Lombardy side with expectations of leading the attack through his physical presence and finishing ability.
However, the move failed to produce the breakthrough both parties had anticipated.
For Monza, eager to strengthen their frontline, parting ways with the forward was seen as the best course of action.
In a brief statement, the Italian club wished him well, saying: Good luck to Silvere in his new adventure.
A new chapter in Saudi Arabia
Ganvoula has signed a deal with Al-Fayha running until 2027, making Saudi Arabia the latest stop in a career that has already taken him across several European leagues.
The Saudi Pro League, which continues to attract players from around the world, presents the 27-year-old with an opportunity to revive his form and rediscover his scoring touch.
For Al-Fayha, who are looking to bolster their attacking options, the Congolese international represents both experience and determination.
His ability to adapt to different environments and leagues may prove valuable as the club pursues greater ambitions in a competition growing rapidly in profile and competitiveness.
Seeking redemption
Ganvoula’s move comes after what will be remembered as a frustrating chapter in Italy, where he was unable to live up to expectations.
Yet, his willingness to start afresh underscores his desire to get his career back on track.
The striker’s career has been characterised by resilience, moving from one league to another in pursuit of consistency.
In Saudi Arabia, he now has the chance to showcase the qualities that once made him a highly regarded forward.
Ganvoula hopes that Al-Fayha will provide the stage to rediscover his instinct in front of goal – something that eluded him during his short-lived Monza adventure.
