Tunisia defender Mohamed Amine Ben Hamida is being linked with a move from Esperance to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hazem as speculation grows over his future with the Tunisian champions.
The 30-year-old left-back, born in Tunis on 15 December 1995, currently plays for Esperance in Ligue Professionnelle 1 and wears the number 20 shirt. Transfermarkt lists his market value at €1.00m, but the nature of the talks remains unclear, with the reported probability of any deal still marked as “?”.
Crucially, Ben Hamida’s contract situation at Esperance is opaque, with no expiry date recorded. That has fuelled suggestions he could be available on favourable terms, with observers not ruling out the prospect of him moving as a free agent if his deal has already run down or is close to doing so.
Standing at 1.81m and operating primarily as a defender at left-back, the left-footed Tunisian has built his reputation in the domestic top flight. He represents Esperance at club level and is registered with Tunisian nationality only.
In his most recent outing for Esperance, Ben Hamida featured at left-back in their Ligue Professionnelle 1 clash on 6 June 2026, helping his side to a tight 1-0 victory against league rivals in a match that underlined his defensive discipline and positional awareness. That display is understood to have reinforced Al-Hazem’s interest as they look to strengthen their back line for the Saudi Pro League campaign.
The move, if it materialises, would take Ben Hamida from Tunisian Ligue 1 to one of the fastest-growing leagues in Asia, with Al-Hazem targeting experienced defensive options. With his valuation modest by current market standards and his contractual status uncertain, the transfer remains a live rumour that could shape the next, and perhaps defining, phase of his career in the Middle East.
