Some players failed to secure a contract during the last two "transfer windows", while others were blacklisted by their respective clubs for non-sporting reasons.

Serge Aurier

The former captain of the Elephants finds himself in a similar situation, having donned the jerseys of major European clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur.

Chancel Mbemba
