AEK Athens are being linked with a move for Gabon right winger Shavy Babicka, who is rumoured to be on Red Star’s radar for a summer switch.
The 25-year-old, valued at €1.50m on Transfermarkt, is currently on the books of Turkish side Fatih Karagümrük, where he wears the number 80 shirt. However, fresh speculation dated 11 May 2026 suggests a possible chain of moves, with Serbian champions Red Star and Greek outfit AEK Athens both involved in talk over his next destination. The probability of the transfer remains officially listed as “?” at this stage.
Babicka’s contractual situation at Karagümrük is unclear, with no expiry date publicly recorded, fuelling suggestions he could yet emerge as a free agent if terms are not renewed. That uncertainty has added to the intrigue around his future, with his current market value seen as an attainable fee for clubs in the Super Liga Srbije and Super League 1.
Born in Libreville on 1 June 2000, the 1.79m right-footer operates primarily as an attacking right winger but is comfortable across the front line. A full Gabon international, he has used his pace and direct running to build a reputation in Turkey’s top flight, catching the eye of scouts tracking undervalued talent.
Recent performances for Karagümrük have underlined his threat from wide areas, although detailed match statistics, including specific goals and assists in particular fixtures, have not been disclosed in the latest data. Even so, his blend of age, international experience and modest valuation positions him as a cost-effective option for clubs seeking depth and dynamism in wide attacking roles.
If a move to AEK Athens does materialise via Red Star interest, it could mark a significant step in Babicka’s career, offering a platform in European competition and the opportunity to enhance his reputation on a bigger stage.
