Africafoot’s 4 August 2026 transfer and news round-up features a series of moves involving African players, including Fares Bahlouli’s arrival at newly promoted US Biskra, Tshegofatso Mabasa’s transfer to Moroccan champions MAS Fes and Salomon Kourouma’s first professional contract with Servette FC.
The daily round-up also includes developments involving Cameroon defender Fadil Montapon in Spain and Egyptian goalkeeper Hazem Gamal, who is set to leave Al Ahly for Pyramids FC once the final administrative procedures have been completed.
Montapon remains in Spain with CD Eldense B
Fadil Montapon has officially joined CD Eldense B on a free transfer, with the 21-year-old signing a contract running until 30 June 2027.
The Cameroon central defender joined AC Torrellano at the start of 2026 after a spell without a club. His move to CD Eldense B means he will continue his career in Spanish football, where he has played since leaving Cameroon.
CD Eldense B compete in Spain’s fifth tier.
Bahlouli signs for promoted US Biskra
US Biskra have moved to strengthen their squad after securing promotion to Algeria’s top flight, with the club completing a surprise deal for Fares Bahlouli.
The French-Algerian attacking midfielder is known for his career with several prominent French clubs. His arrival represents one of the most notable moves so far in US Biskra’s preparations for the new season.
Club president Fares Ben Aissa addressed the signing for the first time in an interview with Maghreb-Foot. He said negotiations between the Algerian club and Bahlouli had been straightforward and had progressed quickly.
Bahlouli will now look to revive his career and rediscover his potential while bringing his technical ability and attacking qualities to US Biskra.
Pyramids FC agree deal for Gamal
Pyramids FC have reached an agreement to sign Hazem Gamal during the summer transfer window, according to Maghreb-Foot.
The 21-year-old goalkeeper came through the Al Ahly academy and is regarded as one of Egypt’s most promising players in his position. He is also an Egypt Under-20 international.
Gamal is leaving his formative club following an internal reorganisation of Al Ahly’s goalkeeping department. Although the agreement between the player and Pyramids FC has been completed, the transfer still requires the final administrative steps before it can be officially announced by both clubs.
Kourouma commits to Servette FC
Salomon Kourouma has signed his first professional contract with Servette FC, committing his future to the Swiss club until 2029.
His agency, Arcane Intl Sports Management, confirmed the news on social media. The Ivorian-born forward joined the club’s academy in 2025 and has made steady progress since arriving.
Kourouma, who is only 16, had attracted concrete interest from a number of major European clubs, including Bayern Munich and Levante, as previously revealed exclusively by Africafoot. He has nevertheless chosen to remain in Switzerland and continue his development with Servette FC.
Mabasa joins Moroccan champions
Tshegofatso Mabasa has signed for MAS Fes on a two-year contract, with the Moroccan champions holding an option to extend the agreement by a further year, according to Micky Jnr.
The South African international was already wanted by the Moroccan club last season, as Africafoot reported exclusively. Mabasa decided at that stage to stay with Orlando Pirates, hoping to break the club’s record for the highest number of goals scored by a player, before eventually moving out on loan.
The 29-year-old striker is now ready to begin a new chapter in Morocco. He joins MAS Fes to strengthen their attack as the club targets qualification for the group stage of the 2026/27 CAF Champions League.
