Loïc Etoga looks increasingly likely to leave SC Bastia at the end of the current season, with the French club showing no intention of activating the extension clause in the Cameroonian midfielder’s contract.
Signed in the summer of 2024, Etoga committed to Bastia until June 2026, with an option for an additional year. Less than a full season later, the situation appears to have shifted.
Club officials now lean toward allowing the 22-year-old defensive midfielder to depart once the campaign concludes, marking a premature end to his stay in Corsica.
Etoga joined Bastia with the aim of establishing himself as a long-term presence in midfield, but his role within the squad has remained limited.
Competition for places and tactical choices have restricted his opportunities, resulting in a modest number of appearances across all competitions.
This season, he featured in 11 matches, provided one assist, and accumulated 639 minutes of playing time.
Those figures reflect a campaign spent largely on the fringes rather than at the core of the team’s plans.
Despite limited exposure, Etoga continues to attract interest beyond France.
Reports indicate that a Belgian club has begun monitoring his situation closely, viewing him as a potential addition ahead of the next season.
While the identity of the club remains undisclosed, the interest suggests that Etoga’s profile and potential still resonate on the European market.
From a financial standpoint, the situation also favors a move. Etoga’s current market value stands at approximately €300,000, according to Transfermarkt, a figure that makes him an accessible target for clubs seeking young, athletic midfielders capable of development.
Bastia, for their part, appear unwilling to commit further resources by extending his contract, a decision that aligns with their apparent readiness to reshape the squad.
For Etoga, a departure could represent an opportunity rather than a setback. At 22, he remains at a formative stage of his career, where regular playing time and tactical trust carry greater importance than stability alone.
A move to Belgium could offer a fresh environment, increased minutes, and a clearer pathway to progression.
As the season progresses toward its conclusion, clarity around Etoga’s future should emerge. All indications point toward a separation, with both player and club preparing to turn the page and pursue new directions.
