Le Havre eye Saint-Etienne’s Morocco-France midfielder Aimen Moueffek in Ligue 1 move

Morocco-France central midfielder Aimen Moueffek of Ligue 2 side Saint-Etienne is being linked with a summer switch to top-flight club Le Havre AC, with the 25-year-old potentially available amid uncertainty over his contract status.

The Saint-Etienne academy product, born in Vienne on 9 April 2001 and now valued at €2.00m on Transfermarkt, is attracting interest as Le Havre look to reinforce their midfield options ahead of the new Ligue 1 campaign. The reported likelihood of the move remains unclear, with the probability of a deal currently listed as “?” and no agreement yet in place between the clubs.

Moueffek, who stands at 1.79m and is a right-footed central midfielder, has become a familiar figure at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, wearing the No 29 shirt for ASSE. Capable of operating in the heart of midfield, he offers energy and balance between defence and attack, attributes that could appeal to a Le Havre side seeking added depth and mobility.

With his contract at Saint-Etienne not publicly specified and no expiry date listed, speculation has grown that the Franco-Moroccan could either be heading into the final phase of his deal or approaching a situation where he may become a free agent in the medium term, a factor that would influence any eventual fee or negotiation leverage.

Recent form has kept scouts attentive, with Moueffek featuring in Saint-Etienne’s Ligue 2 campaign, including their push to re-establish themselves among France’s elite. Specific financial details of any potential transfer have not been disclosed, but his €2.00m market valuation provides a benchmark for talks if they advance.

Should a move to Le Havre materialise, it would offer Moueffek a return to Ligue 1 and a fresh platform to elevate his reputation, strengthen his case at international level for either Morocco or France, and test himself consistently against higher-calibre opposition.
