AC Ajaccio, Yacine Bammou, who arrived during the last winter transfer window, is poised to bid adieu to Corsica in the imminent future as he finalizes his commitment to a yet undisclosed club.
Despite AC Ajaccio’s commendable standing in the race for promotion to Ligue 1, currently occupying the sixth position in the championship, a mere eight points behind the second-placed AJ Auxerre, the impending departure of Yacine Bammou casts a shadow over the team.
Corse-Matin reports that the seasoned striker has concluded negotiations with his next destination, the identity of which remains shrouded in secrecy.
Sources suggest that Bammou conveyed the news of his departure to his teammates in the locker room post the team’s recent victory against Valenciennes (2-1) on the 19th matchday.
Corsican media outlets reveal that the offer presented by the undisclosed club was of such magnitude that it compelled the decision-makers at AC Ajaccio to sanction the departure of the former FC Nantes striker.
The club, acknowledging the intricacies of the offer, opted to allow Bammou to pursue this new chapter in his career.
In a tenure spanning less than six months, Yacine Bammou played an instrumental role in the team, featuring in 17 out of 18 Ligue 2 matches this season.
As an indispensable starter under the management of Olivier Pantaloni, the 32-year-old Moroccan contributed three goals to the team’s tally, making his presence felt on the pitch.
Bammou’s unexpected departure leaves a significant void in the AC Ajaccio squad, and the club will now strategize to navigate the challenges that lie ahead as they seek to maintain their competitive edge in the pursuit of promotion.
