USM Oujda, the stalwart of Botola Pro 2, is making strategic moves to secure the continued services of defensive linchpin Pierre François Aurélien Etamé Ngombé. The Cameroonian central defender, who played a pivotal role in fortifying the team’s defense last season, is currently in discussions with the club’s management regarding a potential contract extension.
Sources close to the matter have informed Africafoot’s editorial team that negotiations are underway, with a one-season extension being proposed to the talented Cameroonian international.
The club’s management, recognizing Etamé Ngombé’s invaluable contributions, is keen to retain his services and has presented an offer that aligns with the player’s priorities.
Despite receiving interest from clubs in Tunisia and Algeria, the 29-year-old defender appears inclined to prioritize USM Oujda, expressing his commitment to aid the team in their pursuit of promotion to Botola Pro.
Aurélien Etamé Ngombé, who previously showcased his defensive prowess during his tenure with the African Club of Tunisia, joined USM Oujda in 2022 after departing from OC Safi.
The central defender, boasting six international caps with the Indomitable Lions, garnered attention for his tenacity and unwavering commitment during the CHAN 2021 tournament in Cameroon.
Having traversed through clubs like Bamboutos de Mbouda, Eding Sport, and Coton Sport, Etamé Ngombé’s potential contract extension with USM Oujda would mark a significant continuation of his journey with the club, subject to a mutually agreeable arrangement between the player and the club’s management.
