SCO Angers could be preparing for another important exit, with left-back Jacques Ekomié attracting growing interest ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

The Ligue 1 club have already seen several key players depart this season, including Esteban Lepaul to Stade Rennais FC and Sidiki Chérif to Fenerbahçe SK, leaving the squad increasingly vulnerable to further changes.

Now, 22-year-old Gabon international Ekomié is emerging as the next major name on the radar of European clubs.

Strasbourg Leading the Race Through BlueCo Project

RC Strasbourg Alsace are reportedly in talks to sign the defender as part of their long-term recruitment strategy under the BlueCo ownership group.

The French side are said to be pushing strongly for the player as they look to reinforce their defensive options ahead of the new season.

Premier League and European Competition Intensifies

Interest in Ekomié is not limited to France, with several clubs across Europe monitoring his situation closely.

In England, both Coventry City and Nottingham Forest are reportedly tracking the left-back, while German clubs Hamburger SV and FC Schalke 04 are also in the mix. In Spain, Villarreal CF have joined the race.

The growing list of suitors highlights the rising reputation of the young defender across Europe.

Angers Set Asking Price Amid Contract Situation

Ekomié remains under contract with Angers until 2027, but the club are reportedly resigned to the possibility of his departure.

Sources suggest Angers have already set an asking price in the region of €7–10 million, anticipating strong competition for his signature in the upcoming transfer window.
