Joel Asoro linked with Cyprus switch as FC Metz contract nears expiry

Swedish-Nigerian winger Joel Asoro has been linked with a move from FC Metz to Apol. Limassol, with the proposed transfer emerging as his contract with the Ligue 2 club approaches its expiry date.

Asoro, 27, is valued at €800,000 and could leave Metz when his current deal ends on 15 August 2026. The reported interest from Apol. Limassol comes with the Cyprus League club considering a move for the right winger ahead of the new season.

The timing of the rumour places the possible transfer less than two weeks before Asoro’s contract is due to expire. That could make his situation one to watch as clubs in Cyprus assess their options before the window closes, although there has been no confirmation that an agreement has been reached between the player and Apol. Limassol.

Asoro joined Metz as a senior player and is now approaching the end of his spell with the French club. His current market valuation stands at €800,000, giving an indication of his standing as the reported move is considered.

The potential switch would take Asoro from France’s second tier to Cyprus, representing a change of league and club at a significant point in his career. For now, he remains a Metz player, with his contract scheduled to run until 15 August 2026.
