Paolo Ria Nsimba has completed a loan move from AC Nardò to USD Brilla Campi, with his temporary deal running from 13/12/2025 until 30/06/2026.
The 18-year-old right midfielder joins Brilla Campi on a loan transfer from the Serie D Girone H side and is scheduled to return to Nardò at the end of the agreement. The switch keeps the Italian-Congolese youngster within the Italian pyramid and gives him the chance to gain senior experience away from his parent club.
Nsimba arrives at Brilla Campi after a brief spell back at Nardò earlier in the 2025–26 season, following the end of a previous loan at ASD Galatina Calcio. That earlier move had seen him step up from Nardò Youth to Galatina on loan before returning to Nardò when the deal expired, and he now heads out again for another developmental spell.
The latest move is formally recorded as a loan transfer, with no permanent fee involved and no market value listed for the player. The agreement confirms Nsimba will remain contracted to Nardò beyond his time at Brilla Campi, at which point he is due to go back to his parent club unless further arrangements are made. With his long-term contract details at Nardò not specified, there is also the possibility his situation could evolve into free-agent status after his loan and subsequent return, depending on future decisions by club and player.
Born on 18 February 2007, Nsimba is listed at 1.67m and operates primarily as a right midfielder, with right as his preferred foot. He holds dual nationality with Italy and Congo, and his progression so far has been entirely within Italian football, moving through Nardò Youth, ASD Galatina Calcio, Nardò’s senior set-up and now Brilla Campi.
The competition in which Brilla Campi will field him is registered simply as “N/A” in the data, but the club is based in Italy, meaning Nsimba continues his development abroad relative to his Congolese roots while still playing in the country of his Italian nationality. His experience to this point has been confined to Italian leagues, including Serie D Girone H with Nardò.
No official statistics are provided for his appearances, goals or assists this season, and there are no recorded match details for his performances at youth or senior level in the available data. Likewise, there is no confirmed market valuation attached to him at this stage, underlining his status as an emerging prospect rather than an established first-team regular.
Nsimba’s transfer history already reflects a pattern of targeted loans: from Nardò Youth to Galatina on loan, back to Nardò at the end of that spell, and now out again to Brilla Campi. Each move has kept him within the Italian system while exposing him to different club environments and levels of competition.
With a clear return date of 30/06/2026, both Nardò and Brilla Campi will view the coming months as a key period in his development. If he impresses during this loan stint, it could influence Nardò’s long-term planning around his contract and determine whether he returns as a more prominent squad option, moves on again, or ultimately approaches the market as a potential free agent later in his career.
