Cameroonian centre-back Stephane Keller is being linked with a move from Cypriot side AEL Limassol to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad, according to transfer data collated on 3 February 2026.
The 24-year-old defender, currently valued at €250,000, is the subject of speculation over a potential switch from the Cyprus League to one of Asia’s most financially powerful competitions. The reported probability of the transfer remains unclear, with the move listed only as “?” in the latest market data, underlining that talks, if any, are at an early or unconfirmed stage.
Keller’s contractual situation at AEL Limassol is not publicly specified in the available records, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent or be available for a relatively low fee. That, combined with his modest market value, is likely to make him an accessible target for Al-Ittihad as they continue to reshape their defensive options.
The right-footed centre-back, who wears the number 97 shirt for AEL, has seen his valuation rise in Cyprus, climbing from €150,000 to €250,000 by late December 2025. Before moving to Limassol in July 2025, Keller had spells with Deportivo Alavés B in Spain and a loan stint at Croatian outfit NK Istra 1961, giving him experience across three European leagues at a relatively young age.
Born on 20 August 2001 in Grand Batanga, Cameroon, and standing at 1.90m, he has been developed primarily as a central defender, progressing from Deportivo Alavés’ under-19s into the B team before his moves abroad. Recent data does not provide specific match-by-match details such as opponents, dates, scorelines or individual performances, so it is not yet possible to tie this rumoured interest to any particular standout display.
If a transfer to Al-Ittihad were to materialise, it would mark a significant step in Keller’s career trajectory, potentially elevating his profile beyond Europe’s lesser-known leagues and offering a new platform on which to build his reputation at both club and international level.
