With his contract at Espérance Sportive de Tunis nearing its conclusion, Mohamed Amine Tougai faces an uncertain summer as speculation over his next destination intensifies.
The Algerian international has yet to agree terms on an extension with the Tunisian giants, despite the looming end of his current deal.
Talks remain at a standstill, leaving room for increased interest from abroad, particularly from clubs in the Arabian Gulf region.
Tougai’s reluctance to commit to a new contract has fuelled rumours of an imminent departure from Parc B.
While no decision has been formally announced, the 24-year-old has not ruled out any options, signalling an openness to explore new challenges.
“Nothing is confirmed yet,” a source close to the player noted, underlining the ongoing uncertainty. “He has not signed with another club, but interest is very real.”
The central defender, known for his physical strength and composed reading of the game, has developed into a key figure for Espérance since joining from NA Hussein Dey in 2020.
His performances in both domestic and continental competitions have attracted attention, particularly from Gulf sides keen on reinforcing their squads with proven talent.
Over the course of his tenure with Espérance, Tougai has helped the club to multiple league titles and made a notable impact in CAF Champions League campaigns.
His reliability and leadership at the back have earned him a growing reputation beyond North Africa.
Yet despite the strong bond with the Tunisian club, the absence of an agreement has raised questions about Espérance’s ability or willingness to match offers being considered from abroad.
Financial packages reportedly tabled by Gulf clubs could far exceed what Espérance are able to offer, making a move increasingly likely.
The coming weeks will be decisive, with both club and player needing to make firm decisions as the summer transfer window approaches its most active phase.
For now, Tougai remains coy about his next step, but with his future unresolved and interest intensifying, a transfer seems more probable than ever.
Whether he stays in Tunis or moves abroad, Mohamed Amine Tougai is set for a career-defining decision.
