Casa Pia AC could lose Cameroonian defender Duplexe Tchamba at the end of the season as his contract approaches its final months.
The 27-year-old centre-back has yet to decide whether to extend his stay, and growing interest from several European clubs has intensified the uncertainty surrounding his future.
CD Santa Clara, competing in Portugal’s top division, has moved swiftly to lead the chase for Tchamba’s signature.
The club has already initiated contact with his representatives to explore a possible deal during the upcoming winter transfer window.
Tchamba joined Casa Pia after a spell with Strasbourg, where he won the French League Cup.
His time in Portugal has seen him become a key figure in Casa Pia’s defence, despite facing several injury setbacks that limited his playing time.
Since his arrival, he has made 52 appearances for the Lisbon-based side, earning recognition for his composure and aerial strength.
Casa Pia hopes to keep the Cameroonian international beyond the current season and has reportedly offered him a contract renewal.
However, the player has yet to respond, keeping speculation about his next move alive.
According to football data site Transfermarkt, Tchamba’s market value stands at around one million euros.
His performances have attracted attention from abroad, with Turkish club Kasımpaşa and Norwegian side SK Brann monitoring his situation closely.
Both clubs have shown interest but have yet to present any official proposals.
This hesitation from other potential suitors has placed CD Santa Clara in a strong position to complete the signing.
The Azores-based team sees Tchamba as an experienced addition who can solidify their defensive line as they aim for a strong second half of the season.
For Tchamba, the coming months will be decisive. His next move could define the next stage of his career, whether he chooses to extend his stay at Casa Pia or pursue a new challenge abroad.
The defender’s consistency, leadership, and international experience continue to make him an appealing option for clubs across Europe.
Casa Pia remains hopeful of convincing their defender to commit to a new deal, but growing external interest could make negotiations more complex.
As the transfer window draws closer, Tchamba’s decision will likely shape both his future and Casa Pia’s defensive plans for the next campaign.
