Prince Ségbéfia, the Togolese midfielder currently playing for AJ Auxerre in Ligue 2 France, is facing an uncertain future as his contract with the club is set to expire in June. Ségbéfia is open to all possibilities but remains committed to helping Auxerre avoid relegation: “I know that I am at the end of my contract, but I am first and foremost a player for AJ Auxerre and I cannot imagine seeing this club in the National league.”
After recovering from an ankle injury sustained in November 2013, Ségbéfia recently returned to action with the reserve team and is expected to rejoin the first team soon. However, negotiations for a contract extension with Auxerre have hit obstacles, prompting Ségbéfia to explore other options. “Negotiations with the club are difficult. So it’s in my interest to perform well to help the team, but also to attract interest from other clubs […] At the moment, I haven’t received any concrete offers, neither from here nor elsewhere, so I’m open to listening to offers. I am willing to extend my stay at AJ Auxerre, but not under any conditions,” he revealed to lyonne.fr.
Ségbéfia’s situation underscores the uncertainties faced by players as they approach the end of their contracts, balancing loyalty to their current club with the need to secure their future in professional football.
