Firas Chaouat could change clubs this summer

According to reliable sources, the current season’s top scorer in Tunisia’s Ligue 1 (17 goals, 2 assists), Firas Chaouat of Etoile Sportive du Sahel (ES Sahel), will have to move on this summer. The 29-year-old Tunisian center-forward is reportedly set to return to Saudi football next season.

According to the same sources, Al-Wehda Football Club, currently 15th in the Saudi Arabian league, is looking to buy out the release clause of Chaouat estimated at around $200,000. Al-Wehda Football Club, which already includes Tunisian international Saad Bguir, is fighting to ensure its survival in the Saudi Pro League.

Chaouat, whose market value is currently estimated at €500,000 according to Transfermarkt, is very familiar with the Saudi league having played for Abha Club in 2020.
