Strasbourg were among several European clubs, including Benfica, Rangers, and Kilmarnock, tracking Zalaegerszeg's Nigerian Centre-Back Akpe Victory. However, FC Basel secured a deal for the 19-year-old after intensive negotiations with the Hungarian club, which had a firm €5 million valuation. Italian transfer specialist Rudy Galetti reported on July 3 that the Swiss side had bridged the valuation gap, and the player was travelling to Switzerland to finalise the transfer. The final fee is consistent with a reported €5 million asking price in May 2026, and Zalaegerszegi TE reportedly rejected two previous offers from Basel in June 2026. Victory, who joined the club in January 2026, has a contract until 2028 and a current market value of €2.00m according to Transfermarkt. In the 2025/2026 season, he made 28 appearances with 3 assists in the Toplyga and 13 appearances with 1 goal and 1 assist in the NB I.
