ASSE actively pursues its summer mercato, with movements both from and towards the club. After finalizing the acquisition of Cardona and Bernauer, and investing more than 2 million euros for Mahmoud Jaber, the team turns to Chico Lamba, Arocca player, for an amount of 6 million euros plus bonuses. Several departures are also expected, including those of Pierre Cornud and some players at the end of the contract, as well as the departure of young players such as Darling BlaDi, who should join the Seville Betis in Spain. This departure, although not providing transfer compensation, includes a participation clause on future resale. At the same time, ASSE is committed to the arrival of Joshua Duffus, a promising young English attacker from Brighton, as part of a strategy to strengthen his attack with young people with high potential.

The arrival of Joshua Duffus is part of a reconstruction policy focused on the development of young talent, a strategy already observed with investment in similar profiles like Lucas Staas. Duffus, after being released by Brighton, represents an additional and ambitious offensive reinforcement for ASSE, which aims to consolidate his return to League 1. His profile, characterized by his vivacity, his address in front of the goal and his ability to adapt, could prove decisive for the future of the club. This operation is part of a long-term development dynamic aimed at building a competitive and financially viable workforce.

Internally, Nadir El Jamali, a professionally promoted midfielder, impresses when preparing the ASSE for next season. Its gradual integration is successful, resulting in encouraging performances during friendly matches. El Jamali, able to play in one touch, stand out and orient the game, seems ready to join the club hierarchy. Its potential is recognised by the management, notably by Eirik Horneland, and it could well get a place in the professional group, thus contributing to the sustainability of the return of ASSE to League 1.
