Nouha Dicko has left Paris FC and become a free agent, completing a move to the “Without Club” pool after the expiry of his deal with the Ligue 1 side. The Malian-French centre-forward’s status officially changed on 2026-02-10, with no transfer fee involved in the separation.
The 33-year-old attacker, valued at €300k at the time of his departure, now enters the open market after just over a year back in French football. His contract with Paris FC, which began on 2024-01-31 and ran until 2026-02-10, has concluded, leaving the experienced forward free to negotiate with interested clubs. The change in registration means Dicko is no longer tied to any league or association, with his destination and next competition currently listed as N/A.
Dicko’s exit from Paris FC closes another chapter in a career that has taken him across several countries and competitions. Born in Saint-Maurice in France and holding both Mali and France nationality, he has built his reputation as a right-footed centre-forward capable of leading the line in a variety of tactical setups. His journey began in France with US Créteil-Lusitanos’ youth teams before a move to Racing Strasbourg’s academy and then to Wigan Athletic, where he first stepped into English football.
From there, Dicko assembled a substantial CV across Europe. He featured for Blackpool, Wigan and Wolverhampton Wanderers in England, earning a prominent role at Wolves and later securing a move to Hull City. A loan spell at Vitesse Arnhem in the Netherlands gave him exposure to the Eredivisie, while moves to Gaziantep FK and Yeni Malatyaspor in Türkiye, followed by OFI Crete in Greece, broadened his experience in different playing styles and leagues before his return to France with Paris FC.
Over the years his market value has fluctuated, peaking during his time at Hull City and Wolverhampton Wanderers and gradually decreasing as he moved through Türkiye, Greece and back to France. The most recent valuation of €300k reflects both his age and his status as a seasoned professional rather than an emerging prospect.
Now unattached, Dicko’s next step will almost certainly be abroad if he chooses to continue his career, as he is no longer tied to club football in Mali or France. With a long record in top-flight and second-tier competitions across England, the Netherlands, Türkiye, Greece and France, he offers potential suitors a profile of experience and adaptability. Any new agreement would mark yet another move away from his home country, underlining the itinerant, international nature of his professional journey.
As he weighs his options, the free-agent forward faces a pivotal moment. A new contract could extend a career that has already spanned multiple leagues and styles, offering one more opportunity to add to his reputation as a well-travelled centre-forward; remaining without a club, meanwhile, would raise questions about whether this marks the closing stretch of his time at the top level.
