Yoan Koré has completed a loan move from Paris FC to Amiens SC, joining the Ligue 2 side on a temporary deal running from 2026-02-02 to 2026-06-30. The centre-back switches from a Ligue 1 club to a second-tier outfit in search of playing time, with the transfer officially registered as a loan transfer and no permanent fee disclosed.
The move keeps Koré under contract with Paris FC, but he will spend the remainder of the season at Amiens SC before returning to his parent club at the end of the loan on 2026-06-30. There is no indication in the available data of an option or obligation to buy, meaning the French-Ivorian defender is scheduled to go back to Paris FC once the loan expires, rather than becoming a free agent at that point.
This transfer continues a recent pattern in Koré’s career, marked by short-term moves aimed at accelerating his development. Before joining Amiens SC, the 21-year-old had just returned to Paris FC from a loan spell at Betis Deportivo Balompié in Spain, with that stint formally ending on 2026-02-01. Earlier, he had been loaned within France to Clermont Foot 63, moving there from Paris FC in mid-season and returning at the close of the campaign. These repeated loans underscore that Paris FC retain him as an asset while seeking regular minutes for him in competitive environments across different leagues.
Koré arrives at Amiens SC with a current market value listed at €400k, reflecting a trajectory that once saw him reach the €1m mark while at Paris FC before declining back to his present valuation during his time at Betis Deportivo. The shift from Spanish football back to France, and from a Ligue 1 employer to a Ligue 2 destination, places him in a position where strong performances could either restore or increase that market value ahead of his scheduled return to Paris.
Born in Bourg-la-Reine and standing 1.87m tall, Koré is a right-footed centre-back who can operate in the heart of defence. He holds dual nationality with France and Cote d’Ivoire, a detail that potentially broadens his international prospects even though there is no national-team data listed in the current information. His club career has been rooted in the Paris FC structure: moving from Paris FC U19 to Paris FC B, then stepping up to the first team in 2023 before embarking on his series of loans.
Amiens SC, competing in Ligue 2, gain a defender who already has experience in multiple environments: the French second tier with Paris FC and Clermont Foot 63, a top-flight employer in Paris FC, and Spanish football with Betis Deportivo Balompié. The loan arrangement gives Amiens an opportunity to strengthen their back line without a long-term financial commitment, while Paris FC retain control of his contract and future.
At the end of this spell, Koré will still be tied to Paris FC, but his performances with Amiens SC in Ligue 2 will be central to determining whether he returns to fight for a place in Ligue 1, attracts interest for another move, or alters his standing in the market ahead of the next phase of his career.
