Chico Lamba, after a difficult period following his departure from Sporting, demonstrated remarkable resilience by imposing himself today at AS Saint-Étienne. His journey was marked by a rebound after an injury that took him away from the terrain, leading him to Arouca where he successfully re-launched his career. He attributes this success to his family support, stressing the importance of taking the time to listen to his loved ones in his decisions. Lamba is also proud of her Guinean roots and the influence of his values, while recognizing the courage of her parents who emigrated to Portugal to offer a better future. Its current objective is to appeal to selection A from Portugal, aware of the need to play a high level in the face of global competition.

At the same time, Mahdi Camara, former middle of ASSE, continues to attract attention for his remarkable performances with the Stade Brestois. After a period of development in Brest, it arouses the interest of several clubs, notably the GOC Nice, which seems particularly eager to recruit it. Formed in Saint-Étienne, Camara has established itself as an essential pillar of his current team, thanks to its regularity, commitment and full midfielder profile “box to box”. His current coach, Éric Roy, is convinced that he will eventually join a high-level club, and the Brest club has even validated an exit voucher to facilitate a possible transfer.

The growing interest in Mahdi Camara is particularly notable, with the GOC Nice, which has been watching him closely for several weeks. The former ASSE captain, estimated at 8 million euros, could be seduced by the opportunity to join a club in the run for a European Cup qualification. Clubs from MLS and Russia had also shown interest recently. The AS Saint-Étienne, who had negotiated a percentage on resale when he left for Brest in 2022, closely follows this situation, aware of the importance of his journey for the club and the player.
