Club Africain recently inquired about the situation of Wissem Chaouali, a 19-year-old Tunisian defender, with the aim of bringing him back to Tunisia. However, the situation has now changed due to firm interest from Olympique Lyonnais. It is reported that the player and his entourage are very open to the possibility of joining Ligue 1. They believe a move to a European league would be a decisive step in his career progression. The centre-back played in 7 matches for Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi First Division League during the 2025/2026 season. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €25k.
