Iyed Belwafi: VfL Bochum eye move for Tunisian winger from CS Sfaxien

Tunisian right winger Iyed Belwafi of CS Sfaxien is being linked with a summer move to German side VfL Bochum in the 2. Bundesliga.

The 23-year-old, valued at around €400,000, has emerged as a potential wide option for Bochum, according to transfer listings dated 10 June 2026, with the probability of a deal currently listed as “?” as talks and interest remain at a speculative stage. There is no confirmed contract expiry date at CS Sfaxien, leaving open the possibility that Belwafi could move either for a modest fee or, if his deal has quietly run down, as a free agent.

Born on 23 May 2003 in Mezzouna, Belwafi has developed at CS Sfaxien, where he wears the number 11 shirt and features predominantly on the right wing in an attacking role. Standing 1.79m tall and right-footed, he is viewed as a modern wide forward capable of operating high and wide or driving inside to support the striker.

Belwafi’s club, CS Sfaxien, compete in Tunisia’s Ligue Professionnelle 1, and the move would represent a first venture into European football for the Tunisian, who is listed solely with Tunisian nationality. His current market value of €400k on Transfermarkt underlines that Bochum would be targeting a relatively low-cost, developmental signing rather than an established star.

Recent match data shows Belwafi continuing to feature for CS Sfaxien in domestic competition, though detailed public statistics on his goals and assists this season remain limited. The latest update on the rumour came on 10 June 2026 at 18:35, with no indication yet of a formal bid from Germany.

If the transfer does materialise, a switch from Tunisia’s top flight to the 2. Bundesliga would mark a significant step in Belwafi’s career, offering a European platform that could redefine his reputation and open the door to further moves across the continent.
