Le Havre eye Saint-Étienne’s Franco-Moroccan midfielder Aïmen Moueffek in Ligue 1 move

Franco-Moroccan central midfielder Aïmen Moueffek of Saint-Étienne is being linked with a summer switch to Ligue 1 side Le Havre AC, with the 25-year-old reportedly monitored as a potential free-agent style opportunity given the uncertainty around his contract situation.

Moueffek, valued at €2.00m on Transfermarkt, is currently on the books at Saint-Étienne, who are operating in Ligue 2. His deal has no listed expiry date, fuelling speculation that Le Havre could attempt to secure him on favourable terms if his contract is nearing its end or has quietly run down.

Born in Vienne on 9 April 2001, the 1.79m right-footed midfielder has represented both Morocco and France at youth level and is noted primarily as a central midfielder. He wears the number 29 shirt for Saint-Étienne and has been part of the club’s set-up for several seasons, emerging from their ranks to feature in France’s professional tiers.

The move, first recorded on 1 July 2026, currently carries an unspecified probability (“?”), underlining that talks – if any – remain at an early, exploratory stage rather than an advanced negotiation. No agreement between the clubs has been reported.

Moueffek’s most recent campaign with Saint-Étienne in Ligue 2 has kept him in the shop window for top-flight scouts, with his form in the middle of the park seen as compatible with Le Havre’s need for energy and control in midfield. Specific recent match details, including exact opponents, dates and scorelines for his latest standout performances, have not been disclosed in the available data, but his consistent involvement has helped maintain his €2.00m valuation.

Having spent his senior career with Saint-Étienne and experienced both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 football, a step back up to the top tier with Le Havre would represent a significant moment in Moueffek’s career trajectory, potentially enhancing his reputation in France and keeping open the possibility of future moves at a higher level if the transfer materialises.
