Yanis Rafii: Guingamp eye Amiens centre-forward in low-cost Ligue 2 move

Guingamp are being linked with a move for Amiens SC centre-forward Yanis Rafii, with the young striker reportedly attracting interest ahead of the summer window.

Rafii, 20, is currently on the books of Amiens in Ligue 2 and is valued at around €200k, according to data from Transfermarkt. The deal remains firmly in the rumour category, with the probability of a transfer listed only as “?”. There is no public information on the length of Rafii’s contract at Amiens, raising the prospect that he could become a free agent or be available at a cut price if his current deal is nearing its end or has already expired.

Born in Reims on 26 June 2005, Rafii stands at 1.87m and operates primarily as a central striker, preferring his right foot. He wears the number 19 shirt for Amiens and has been involved with the club’s first team in Ligue 2, where he has been monitored as a developing attacking option rather than an established starter. Recent match data lists him as part of the Amiens squad, though detailed statistics such as goals, assists and individual match ratings have not been specified in the latest update and there is no confirmed standout performance noted in the current campaign.

The forward holds dual nationality with France and Morocco, which could make him an intriguing long-term project for both club and country. He is listed with nationalities “France” and “Morocco”, underlining his eligibility for either national team at senior level.

With a modest market value of €200k and experience already in a competitive European second tier, a switch from Amiens to fellow Ligue 2 side Guingamp would represent a logical next step. If the move materialises, it could offer Rafii a platform to secure regular minutes, enhance his reputation in France and potentially position himself for future international recognition.
