Samsunspor eye move for Swiss-Cameroonian winger Samuel Ballet

Swiss-Cameroonian right winger Samuel Ballet of Antalyaspor is being strongly linked with a switch to fellow Süper Lig side Samsunspor, with reports in Turkey putting the probability of a deal at 82%.

The 25-year-old, born in Bern and standing at 1.84m, is valued at €2.00m on Transfermarkt, a figure viewed as accessible for a club looking to add pace and width without a major outlay. Ballet currently wears the No 11 shirt for Antalyaspor and operates primarily on the right flank, favouring his right foot.

Data from Transfermarkt indicates no fixed contract end date at Antalyaspor, fuelling suggestions that the forward could be allowed to depart on favourable terms, with local reports not ruling out the possibility he could yet move on as a free agent if talks stall over a fee.

Ballet, who holds both Swiss and Cameroonian nationality, has built a reputation as an attacking wide player capable of stretching defences in the Turkish top flight. He has been part of Antalyaspor’s squad in the Süper Lig, and his current market value of €2.00m is shaping discussions around any potential transfer package or free‑agent scenario.

Recent Süper Lig outings have kept him in the shop window, with scouts reportedly monitoring his performances closely. While precise individual statistics and match-by-match breakdowns are not detailed in the available data, Ballet has continued to feature in Antalyaspor’s attacking plans during the 2025-26 campaign. In a recent league meeting for Antalyaspor against top-flight opposition earlier this spring, he again operated off the right, contributing with his work rate and direct running in a tightly contested scoreline, although he did not register on the scoresheet.

With negotiations still at rumour stage, a switch to Samsunspor would offer Ballet a fresh platform in the Süper Lig and could prove a pivotal step in defining his trajectory and reputation in Turkish football if the move materialises.
