Steeve-Mike Eyango has completed a move to Calcio Foggia 1920 on a free transfer from the status of being without a club, signing a contract that runs from 2026-03-05 to 2027-06-30. The France/Cameroon central midfielder joins the Serie C – Girone C side after several months as a free agent, returning to Italian professional football with a deal that involves no transfer fee.
The 25-year-old, who most recently left Barletta 1922 before becoming unattached, arrives in Foggia with experience across multiple Italian clubs, including spells at Rimini FC, Giugliano Calcio 1928 and former Serie A outfit Genoa CFC. His last registration before this move was officially listed as “Without Club,” making this a low-risk acquisition for Foggia as they look to strengthen their midfield options.
Eyango is a right‑footed central midfielder, standing 1.80m tall, and has been deployed consistently in the middle of the park throughout his career. Born on 20 Feb 2001, he holds both French and Cameroonian nationality, and his new deal gives him another opportunity to re-establish himself in the Italian professional game after his market value had declined to zero during his spell without a club.
Before dropping into free agency, Eyango’s career trajectory showed early promise. At Genoa’s youth setup (Genoa U20), his market value rose as high as €400,000 in 2021, reflecting his potential at that time. Loan moves to Cosenza Calcio and Siena FC followed, keeping him within the Italian pyramid and giving him minutes in competitive senior environments. Subsequent transfers to Rimini FC and Giugliano Calcio 1928 continued that pattern, albeit with a gradual reduction in his listed market value, eventually falling to €25,000 during his stint at Barletta 1922 and then to €0 after he became unattached in late 2024.
Eyango has spent his entire senior career in Italy, moving from Bordeaux’s U19 side in France to Genoa’s youth ranks in 2019, then building his résumé in Serie B, Serie C and the lower professional tiers. His new club Foggia competes in Serie C – Girone C, ensuring he remains abroad rather than returning to play in his countries of nationality, France or Cameroon.
While exact appearance numbers and recent match-specific performances are not listed in the available data, his steady presence at multiple clubs in Italy’s professional structure indicates that he has been a squad option trusted enough to earn repeated opportunities at this level. Each successive move—from Genoa to Cosenza, Siena, Rimini, Giugliano and Barletta—has kept him in the same football culture and tactical environment, experience Foggia can now draw upon.
For Foggia, this confirmed free transfer brings in a midfielder with a broad understanding of Italian football and the physical and technical demands of the lower professional tiers. For Eyango, the contract represents a chance to rebuild his reputation and reassert the value that once made him a six‑figure prospect in market value terms. If he can recapture that early potential in Serie C, this stint at Foggia could become the platform for a renewed climb up the divisions and a fresh chapter in his Franco‑Cameroonian career.
