Etoile Sportive du Sahel has confirmed the acquisition of central midfielder Walid Karoui, with the club announcing the signing through a video posted on their official Facebook page. The announcement was accompanied by photos of Karoui undergoing a medical examination and finalizing his contract.
The club initially did not disclose the length of Karoui’s contract, leading to speculation.
However, an official source has revealed to AFRICAFOOTUNITED that Karoui has committed to a two-year deal with the Tunisian side.
The midfielder joins Etoile Sportive du Sahel as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Bahraini club Al-Muharraq SC.
At 28, Karoui returns to the Tunisian league, where he previously played for CS Sfaxien, the same club where his teammate Firas Chaouat began his career.
His move to Etoile Sportive du Sahel marks a significant addition to the squad, aiming to strengthen the midfield for the upcoming season.
Karoui’s return to Tunisia is expected to bring valuable experience and depth to Etoile Sportive du Sahel, enhancing their prospects in domestic and continental competitions.
The club’s decision to secure Karoui’s services highlights their ambition and commitment to building a competitive team for the challenges ahead.
