Enoch Mawassa has completed a permanent move from FC Nantes U19 to Cagliari U20 in a deal worth €150,000, taking the highly rated centre-back from French youth football to Italy’s Primavera 1. The transfer was finalised on 2026-02-02, with the France/Congo defender now registered with the Sardinian club’s U20 setup. His new contract with Cagliari U20 is currently recorded without a confirmed end date, leaving the length of the agreement undisclosed and his eventual free‑agent timeline unclear.
The 17-year-old, who most recently featured for Nantes at U19 level in the French National U19 – Group C, joins Cagliari’s Primavera squad with no publicly listed market value, underlining how early he still is in his professional development. The move nevertheless involves a defined fee between the two clubs, indicating a concrete investment by Cagliari in a player who is still eligible for youth competition.
Before heading to Italy, Mawassa progressed through Nantes’ academy structure, stepping up from FC Nantes U17 to FC Nantes U19 ahead of the 25/26 season. That internal promotion kept him within the same club and country, still competing in France, before this latest move took him abroad for the first time. With Cagliari U20 operating in Primavera 1, the top tier of Italian youth football, the transfer shifts his competitive environment from the French youth league system to one of Europe’s most closely monitored development platforms.
Mawassa is listed primarily as a centre-back, described as a defender whose main position is in the heart of the back line. His profile notes dual nationality, with both France and Congo attached to his name, reflecting a background that could eventually make him eligible for either national team at senior level. Officially tied now to Cagliari Primavera, he also appears in records connected to Cagliari U20, underscoring that the move is fully integrated within the club’s youth structure rather than a short‑term loan or trial.
The transfer history confirms that this is his first move outside France and first cross-border deal. There is no indication in the data of previous senior appearances, goals, assists, or detailed match statistics, and no match-by-match records are provided for the current season. Similarly, there are no specific recent fixtures, opponents, or scorelines in which his performances are documented, so there is no statistical breakdown of his contributions prior to the switch.
With no expiry date publicly set on his new contract, the long-term picture around his next potential status—whether as a future free agent or as a player commanding a higher fee—remains open. What is clear from the available information is that Mawassa, born on 20 Jul 2008 and still only 17, has taken a significant step by leaving FC Nantes’ youth ladder for Cagliari’s Primavera 1 project. How quickly he adapts to Italian youth football, and how Cagliari integrate a Franco-Congolese central defender into their plans, will define the next phase of his development and determine the scale of opportunities that follow this confirmed transfer.
