Issam Chebake: Morocco–France Right-Back Leaves Krasava ENY to Become Free Agent

Issam Chebake has officially left Cypriot side Krasava ENY and is now without a club after his contract expired, completing a free transfer that places the veteran defender on the open market. The move, registered on 2026-07-01, confirms the end of his stint in the Cyprus League and marks the beginning of life as a free agent in the global transfer landscape.

The 36-year-old right-back, who holds both Moroccan and French nationality, departs with an estimated market value of €75k. No transfer fee was involved in the switch, with the transaction recorded as a move from Krasava ENY to “Without Club,” underscoring that he is no longer tied to any professional team. His new contract status is that of a free player, with no end date attached, allowing him to negotiate directly with prospective employers.

Chebake’s exit draws a line under his time in Cyprus, where he was registered in the top division, the Cyprus League. Operating primarily as a defender on the right flank and favouring his right foot, he offered experience and positional discipline in a competition far from his birthplace of Agadir. The move away from Krasava ENY opens the door for him to continue his career abroad, with his next destination potentially taking him into another league, although his current registration is effectively in a non-affiliated “N/A” set-up rather than a defined competition.

Born on 12 Oct 1989 and standing at 1.75 m, Chebake has long been recognised as a steady, workmanlike full-back rather than a headline-grabbing star. His valuation of €75k reflects both his advanced age and the experience he brings from playing outside his home country. While he is currently unattached and listed under a non-league (N/A) status, his dual Moroccan–French nationality and track record in European football could still appeal to clubs seeking short-term depth or leadership in the dressing room.

No detailed statistics, appearances, or recent match data are available in the current record, and there is no breakdown of goals, assists or defensive metrics from his spell at Krasava ENY. Likewise, specific opponents, scorelines, or individual performances are not documented in the provided data, meaning his final outings in Cyprus cannot be accurately described or analysed. What is clear, however, is that his role was that of a specialist right-back within a professional environment, competing in a recognised European league.

Chebake’s status as a free agent also means there is no fixed contract start or end beyond the formal registration of his departure on 2026-07-01. With no expiry date now attached to his situation, he is free to sign at any time, outside the constraints of a traditional transfer fee. For potential suitors, this eliminates the cost of a buy-out and focuses negotiations solely on salary and contract length.

From a broader perspective, Moroccan and French observers will note that another player of dual heritage has carved out a career away from his original footballing base, adding to the long list of North African and Franco-Maghrebi professionals who have built their reputations abroad. His social media presence, via Twitter and Instagram, keeps him in the public eye and may aid in signalling his availability to clubs and agents.

At 36, Chebake is closer to the end of his playing days than the beginning, but the confirmed free transfer from Krasava ENY to the status of “Without Club” leaves one final question hanging: whether a new opportunity in yet another country or competition will emerge, offering him a last chapter to shape his career, define his legacy, and make use of his experience at the professional level.
