Transfer window: a surprise move for Vincent Aboubakar!

At 33 years old, Vincent Aboubakar could be on the verge of embarking on a new, unexpected adventure. Now a free agent after his stint with Hatayspor, the star striker of the Indomitable Lions is reportedly in advanced talks with Qarabag FK, according to Turkish media.

The Baku-based club, reigning champions of Azerbaijan and set to compete in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, are looking to bolster their attacking line with an experienced forward.

With his goal-scoring instincts, physical presence, and European pedigree, Aboubakar perfectly fits the profile sought by the coaching staff, who are eager to take the club to the next level on the continental stage.

An unexpected new challenge for the Cameroonian

Qarabag, already qualified for the Champions League qualifying rounds, are considering replacing Algerian forward Yassine Benzia, whose contract is expiring. Signing the Cameroonian, who is available on a free transfer, would be a major addition to the Azerbaijani squad.

Despite a rollercoaster season at Hatayspor, with 7 goals and 2 assists in 25 matches, Aboubakar remains a proven asset, capable of making the difference on the big stage.

The Azerbaijani club is eager to wrap up the deal quickly ahead of their upcoming European commitments.
