Esperance Tunis close to securing 3 strong signings in the summer transfer window

Esperance Tunis is intensifying its efforts during the upcoming summer transfer window, seeking to bolster its ranks with new elements capable of enhancing its ambitions for the next season. This comes after the club made extensive changes to its lineup, which included parting ways with several players for technical reasons, while also signing local and foreign names, including the duo from the Tunisia national team, Raed Chikhaoui and Mohamed Belhadj Mahmoud.

The club nicknamed 'Blood and Gold' has Brazilian winger Lucas Ribeiro among its top targets in the transfer market, as its management continues to work towards completing the deal despite the complications surrounding the negotiations.

Esperance Tunis had previously reached an agreement with Al-Ittihad to terminate the preliminary contract with the Brazilian player. However, the Libyan team later changed its position and expressed its desire to keep Ribeiro in its squad, which temporarily stalled the negotiations.

However, the data suggests that a positive development may occur in this matter during the coming hours or days, which could pave the way for the player to wear the shirt of the Tunisian team.

In a related context, the management of Esperance Tunis have reopened negotiations regarding the signing of international striker Hazem Al-Mestouri, after FC Dynamo Makhachkala had previously set high financial demands for his departure.

Russian demands followed the impressive performance of Al-Mustouri during the match against the Netherlands in the last round of the group stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026. It is worth noting that the player joined Dynamo Makhachkala last year, in a deal that saw US Monastir, his former team, receive €350,000.

In terms of the midfield, signing a defensive midfielder is one of the technical priorities for Esperance Tunis, especially after the departure of Nigerian Onuachu Agbimble. The club's management is working to find a replacement with the necessary experience to fill the gap left by his absence.

Latest updates indicate that Esperance Tunis is close to signing an experienced African midfielder who has significant experience in high-level competitions, after the club previously entered negotiations with several well-known names, without managing to reach a final agreement with any of them.
