Amane Djanffar has completed a move from AC Ajaccio U19 to Italian side Nuova Sondrio Calcio, joining the Serie D – Girone B club on a permanent deal starting on 07/12/2025. The 18-year-old right-back leaves the French youth system to begin his senior career in Italy, with his contract at Sondrio currently listed without a confirmed end date.

The transfer from Ajaccio’s under-19s to Sondrio has been registered as a standard deal, with the fee undisclosed and recorded as unknown. It marks the first time Djanffar, who holds both Comorian and French nationality, will play outside France. His move also coincides with his registration as a player for Nuova Sondrio Calcio, the club named as his current team.

Djanffar arrives in Italy after a series of internal steps through French youth football. He began in the academy at LOSC Lille Youth before progressing to LOSC Lille U17. From there he switched to Olympique Marcquois Football U17, later stepping up to Olympique Marcquois Football U19 and then moving on to AC Ajaccio U19. Each of those moves, all within France, were completed on free transfers during consecutive summers, underlining a steady rise through age-group football rather than through high-profile, high-fee moves.

Primarily deployed as a defender at right-back, Djanffar is listed as right-footed and stands at 1.75m. Born in Lille and eligible for both Comoros and France, he now joins a club competing in Italy’s Serie D – B, a senior league environment that represents a clear step up from the under-19 set-up he leaves behind. No market value is currently recorded for the teenager, reflecting his status as a developing player rather than an established professional asset.

The move also changes his club context from French youth competitions to the Italian lower leagues. While exact league or cup minutes, appearances or statistics are not provided in the available data, his consistent progression through Lille and Marcquois age groups and then to Ajaccio U19 suggests he has been trusted within structured academy systems across multiple clubs. At Sondrio, he is expected to be part of a senior squad facing regular league opposition in Serie D – B rather than youth-only fixtures.

There is no indication in the data that Djanffar is currently a free agent; instead, he is registered with Nuova Sondrio Calcio following the transfer from Ajaccio U19. Similarly, no information is provided on a specific contract expiry date or any future release arrangements. What is clear is that his next chapter will be written in Italy, where he will aim to convert a background in French youth football into a professional breakthrough on the right side of defence.
