Cameroonian striker Vincent Aboubakar is now a free agent following his departure from Turkish club Hatayspor, attracting interest from two prominent clubs: Brazil’s Palmeiras and the United Arab Emirates’ Al Ain.
At 33, Aboubakar boasts an impressive career, having played for clubs such as FC Lorient, FC Porto, Beşiktaş, and Al Nassr.
His experience and goal-scoring ability make him a valuable asset for teams seeking to bolster their attacking options.
Palmeiras and Al Ain, both qualified for the 2026 Club World Cup, are looking to strengthen their squads with experienced players like Aboubakar.
His physical presence and leadership qualities are seen as assets that could enhance their offensive capabilities.
During his tenure at Hatayspor, Aboubakar made 25 appearances in the Süper Lig, scoring seven goals and providing two assists.
While his performance was solid, his experience and track record in top-tier leagues have kept his market value estimated at €1.6 million.
Aboubakar’s previous contract in Turkey saw him earning an annual salary of €2.5 million (approximately 1.6 billion CFA francs), a level of remuneration that only financially robust clubs like Palmeiras and Al Ain can offer.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Aboubakar’s next destination remains uncertain.
While Hatayspor prepares for its upcoming match against Göztepe, the Cameroonian striker is contemplating his future and the next chapter in his illustrious career.
