Cameroonian full-back Aboubakar Nagida of Stade Rennais has been named to the Ligue 1 Team of the Week for matchday 23. The recognition follows his strong performance in Rennes' 3-0 victory over AJ Auxerre.
Nagida, 20, who was born in Douala, has been praised for his impact both defensively and offensively. His score of 8/10 from Ouest-France testifies to his effectiveness and significant contribution to his team's victory. He has demonstrated his attacking qualities and ability to influence the game, actively participating in offensive actions.
Often on the bench under former coach Habib Beye, Nagida has gained the confidence of his successors, repaying them with remarkable performances. His recent performances, particularly against Paris Saint-Germain, have highlighted his potential. The club has shown faith in his potential, rejecting a 5 million euro offer from Beşiktaş JK for the player.
Nagida extended his contract with Rennes until 2029. His current market value is estimated at 1.5 million euros, but it could quickly increase if he maintains his current level of play. Rennes seems determined to keep him for now, considering Nagida as a key element of their team and a strategic asset financially.
By joining the Team of the Week, Nagida finds himself alongside players such as Hernandez, Louchet, Moreira and Zaïre-Emery. The young Cameroonian continues to progress and aims to reach an optimal level by the end of the season.
