Moussa Djenepo begins Greek chapter with Panetolikos after Esteghlal departure

Moussa Djenepo has officially joined Panetolikos FC on a two-season contract after ending his spell with Iranian club Esteghlal FC.

The Mali international, known for his pace and attacking movement, will continue his career in Greece as he looks to make an immediate impact with the Agrinio-based side. His arrival gives Panetolikos FC a forward with experience of playing in European leagues and at international level.

Djenepo was developed by Yeelen Olympique before attracting wider attention during his time with Standard de Liege. His performances in Belgium earned him a move to the Premier League, where he played for Southampton and further established his reputation as a dynamic attacking player.

The 35-time Mali international can operate in a number of forward positions. His versatility, combined with his speed, is expected to provide Panetolikos FC with an important attacking option in the Greek Super League.

The move follows Djenepo’s departure from Esteghlal FC, bringing his time in Iran to an end. He now begins a new phase of his career with a club that will hope his previous experience can strengthen its attacking play.

For Djenepo, the transfer represents an opportunity to rebuild momentum and take on a fresh challenge outside the leagues in which he made his name. The winger arrives with a background that includes development in Mali, prominence in Belgium, Premier League football with Southampton and international involvement with the Mali national team.

His career first gained significant recognition at Standard de Liege, where his performances helped establish him as one of Mali’s promising attacking players. His subsequent spell in England added further experience at the highest level of domestic football in Europe.

That background is now being brought to Panetolikos FC, where the club will look to benefit from his ability to provide pace and flexibility in the final third. Djenepo’s attacking profile is also suited to the demands of the Super League Greece, where his direct style could become a valuable feature of his new team’s play.

The 35-cap Mali forward is approaching the move with the aim of quickly recovering his best form. He also wants to become an important member of the Panetolikos FC squad as the club begins this new chapter with him.

After leaving Esteghlal FC, Djenepo has secured a two-year commitment in Greece and will now look to make his next contribution at club level in the colours of Panetolikos FC.
