Portuguese side Alverca have been linked with a move for USL Dunkerque right winger Marco Essimi, according to transfer data compiled on 21 May 2026.
The 27-year-old, who holds both French and Cameroonian nationality, is currently on the books of Ligue 2 club Dunkerque, where he wears the number 10 shirt. Transfermarkt lists Essimi with a market value of €600,000, a figure likely to shape any negotiations should Alverca look to advance their interest.
The reported switch would see Essimi move from France’s second tier to Liga Portugal, with Alverca named as the potential destination. The current probability of the transfer is recorded only as “?”, underlining that talks are, at this stage, firmly in the realm of speculation rather than a concluded deal.
Essimi’s contractual situation at Dunkerque is unclear, with no public data on when his deal was signed or when it is due to expire. That uncertainty has prompted suggestions he could become a free agent if his contract has already run down or is close to doing so, a factor that would significantly affect any transfer fee and make a move more accessible for Alverca.
Born in Yaoundé on 18 February 1999, the 1.82m right-footer operates primarily as an attacking right winger and has been listed with Dunkerque as his current “national team” affiliation at club level. Recent statistical updates for the 2025‑26 campaign are not specified in the available data, and no particular match – including opponent, date, scoreline or individual performance – is detailed in the latest report.
With his prime years ahead and an estimated value of €600k, a switch to Portugal, whether via transfer or as a free agent, could offer Essimi a new platform and prove a pivotal step in shaping the next phase of his career.
