The SC Bastia is facing a major challenge with Trabzonsport’s growing interest in its young field environment, Christ Inao Oulai. The Turkish club made an offer of 7 million euros for the player, which is a considerable amount for a 19-year-old talent. This proposal came as Bejaimin Bouchouaari, mid-AS Saint-Étienne, seemed close to joining Trabzonsport, illustrating the volatility of the transfer market. For Bastia, the decision to divest Oulai will be complex, involving an assessment of the financial aspects, the ability to replace him and the player’s willingness to join Turkey. Such a start would significantly impact the team, as Oulai is considered a key and promising element.

Several key players are absent due to injury or departure, but new reinforcements are coming, especially in the defence and midfield. The mission is to take all three points to start a positive dynamic in a competitive league.
