Before his departure to Al-Shamal, Wesley Saïd played his last match in Ligue 1 with Lens and scored twice in the game.

According to L'Équipe, Wesley Saïd chose to sign a lucrative contract with Al-Shamal in Qatar after Lens informed him that a salary increase was not possible.

Wesley Saïd, a 30-year-old French and Comorian centre-forward, has signed a contract with Al-Shamal for two seasons with an option for an additional season and will play in Qatar next season. He will no longer play for Lens, where during the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season he scored 10 goals and provided 2 assists in 23 appearances. The player has one cap for France's U21 team and has a current market value of €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
