Franck Tchassem has completed a move from ACSC FC Argeș to ACSM Reșița, joining the Liga 2 side on a free transfer in a deal that begins on 2026-02-06 and runs until 2026-06-30. The Cameroon right winger arrives with a current market value of €150k and becomes part of a Resita squad competing in Romania’s second tier.
The transfer ends Tchassem’s spell at FC Argeș, where he was under contract in the 2025-26 campaign. The move is recorded as a standard free transfer, with no fee changing hands despite his six-figure valuation. Both clubs operate within the Romanian pyramid, meaning the winger remains in the same national football system while stepping into a different league environment through ACSM Reșița’s Liga 2 status.
Tchassem, 26, has spent his entire senior career in Romania, making this latest switch another step in a long-running journey through the country’s divisions. Before FC Argeș and ACSM Reșița, he featured for FC Universitatea Cluj, CSM Focșani 2007, Viitorul Dăești, CS Știința Miroslava and Șomuz Fălticeni. His career path shows a steady progression across multiple Romanian clubs, giving him extensive familiarity with the domestic game despite being born in Mbanga, Cameroon.
On the pitch, Tchassem’s primary role is as a right winger, operating in attack and favouring his left foot. That profile suggests he is used to cutting inside from the flank, a trait likely to be attractive for a Liga 2 side looking for direct attacking options and one-on-one ability. While the data does not list specific goal or assist tallies, his repeated recruitment by clubs in Romania’s professional and semi-professional tiers indicates that he has been considered a valuable wide option across several seasons.
Market value data underlines how his standing has fluctuated. While at Universitatea Cluj, his value was recorded at €150k and later €300k, before adjusting to €200k and then €150k during his time with FC Argeș. Entering ACSM Reșița at €150k, he represents a low-cost acquisition for the club, with upside potential if he can recapture the form that pushed his value higher earlier in his career.
The move also reinforces Tchassem’s status as a Cameroon international playing his club football abroad rather than in his home country. For supporters in Cameroon, his continued presence in Europe offers another example of a domestic talent building a professional career in a foreign league, in this case within the Romanian system. For local fans of ACSM Reșița, he arrives as a player already embedded in Romanian football culture but still representing international quality through his nationality and CV.
ACSM Reșița gain a left-footed attacking player with years of experience across Romanian clubs and divisions, while Tchassem secures a platform in Liga 2 at a key stage of his career. How he performs over the length of this contract will go a long way in determining whether his market value rises again and whether further moves within Europe become realistic options once this deal expires on 2026-06-30.
