Strasbourg moves in on Cameroonian Aaron Bibout

Strasbourg is aiming to strengthen its attack ahead of the new Ligue 1 season. One of Racing Club de Strasbourg's targets is Aaron Bibout, a 21-year-old striker owned by Genk in the Belgian Pro League.

According to L'Equipe, Aaron Bibout has long been on Strasbourg's radar. The Alsatian club has now made its move, opening talks with the Belgian side to lure the Cameroonian U21 international.

A young and promising profile

At 21 years old, Bibout is under contract with Genk until June 2029. Last season, he netted 6 goals in 21 league appearances. Still developing technically, he is especially recognized for his potential. Having joined Genk in July 2025 from Vasteras in Switzerland, he has already showcased impressive qualities in front of goal.
