Gazelle bid $36.0K for Brahim Souleymane

The offer went to US Moursal this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Words exchanged at Gazelle

Abbas Maigué 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.

Gazelle baulk at the price for a squad player

Stars Jeunes Talents wanted more than $37.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

AS Algoy tell Gazelle: Youssouf Souleymane is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

A loan move for Ahmat Abba is in the works

Gazelle 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.

5 new faces, and Gazelle are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The formation has left Moussa Souleymane behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Gazelle will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Gazelle borrow Idriss Mbaiguedem

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Idriss Mbaiguedem arrives from AS Etat Major with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.

Market17 Aug 2026

Gazelle bring in Abdramane Abba on loan

A season-long audition: US Moursal still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Gazelle's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.

Idriss Mbaiguedem is a medical away from Gazelle

The deal with AS Etat Major is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Hassan Ngaradoumbe turns down Gazelle

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Stars Jeunes Talents keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Mohamed Chennah signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mohamed Chennah and Gazelle agree another 3 years.

Tempers go at Gazelle

César Abaya was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Gazelle rebuffed over Brahim Souleymane

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. US Moursal have kept their man, and Gazelle go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Abdramane Ndoram steps up from the Gazelle academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Abdramane Ndoram 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.

One of our own: Abdoulaye Hissein joins the Gazelle first team

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

Gazelle promote Mahamat Doungous from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mahamat Doungous 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.

A move Mohamed Chennah would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Mohamed Chennah is living that version at Gazelle, and it tends to show in the first month.

César Abaya signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” César Abaya commits to Gazelle for another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

César Abaya in a row with a teammate

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Mohamed Chennah is a square peg at Gazelle

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Gazelle and César Abaya

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

24 months and counting on Hassane Boudina

Still no offer on the table, and Hassane Boudina’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
