Belgian club Sint-Truiden is on the verge of finalizing a contract extension with Togolese international defender Frédéric Ananou, signaling a continued partnership between the player and the club.
Frédéric Ananou, who joined Saint Trond as a free agent following the conclusion of his contract with Hansa Rostock, initially signed a one-season deal with an option for an additional year.
With just a few months remaining in the current season, Sint-Truiden is eager to exercise the option and secure Ananou’s services for another year.
According to reports from Africafoot, both Sint-Truiden and Frédéric Ananou have reached an agreement in principle to extend the contract for an additional season.
Final negotiations are underway between the two parties, and an official announcement regarding the extension is expected in the coming days.
Should Ananou agree to the extension, it is anticipated that his market value will experience a notable increase.
Presently valued at €600,000 according to Transfermarkt, Ananou has showcased his versatility by featuring in 13 league matches this season, despite grappling with injuries.
Renowned for his adaptability, the former Ingolstadt, Roda JC, and Paderborn player possesses the ability to excel in multiple positions, including as a winger.
Sint-Truiden is keen on offering him a second year to fully showcase his talents, particularly after navigating through a series of injury setbacks during his initial season with the club.
At 26 years old, Ananou brings a wealth of experience, having spent a significant portion of his career in Germany before making the move to Sint-Truiden in Belgium.
As discussions progress towards securing his contract extension, both the player and the club remain optimistic about the prospect of continuing their fruitful collaboration.
