Galactik say no — this time
The offer from AS Bakaridjan for Youssouf Abdraman was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $47.8K — a club that wants Abdramane Mahamat enough to be asked twice.

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Galactik have done the hard part with Stars Jeunes Talents, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Galactik have gone to Stars Jeunes Talents with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Words exchanged at Galactik
Ousmane Biani and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. US Moursal have kept their man, and Galactik go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Squad24 Aug 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” Adam Djimet and Galactik agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Brahim Adoum gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Market24 Aug 2026
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Ousmane Biani’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

A falling-out at Galactik
Ousmane Biani and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Galactik baulk at the price for a squad player
Stars Jeunes Talents wanted more than $36.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Stars Jeunes Talents have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

A season-long audition: US Moursal still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Galactik's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
Adam Djimet asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Everything agreed with US Moursal, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Adam Djimet has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Djibrine Bechir has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Abdoulaye Souleymane is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Galactik have made the call to US Moursal. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Galactik this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
