Beninese striker Adnan Aziz is on the verge of completing a significant step in his career after securing a move to a second-division club in Argentina, marking his first professional contract.
The 24-year-old forward, whose journey has been described as both difficult and determined, is expected to be officially unveiled by his new club in the coming days.
According to reports, Aziz has already signed an initial contract lasting one and a half years, with terms aligned to a longer-term sporting project that could keep him at the club until 2028.
The move represents a major breakthrough for the striker, who has steadily worked his way through various levels of football in pursuit of a professional career.
His signing follows a successful trial period, during which he impressed the Argentinian coaching staff with his mobility and goal-scoring ability.
A symbolic detail surrounding the transfer is that Aziz is expected to wear the number 17 shirt at his new club, underlining the start of a new chapter in his football journey.
Aziz began his development in Benin, featuring for local sides Tchemabi FC and Soleil FC.
These early years played a key role in shaping his attacking instincts and technical ability, laying the groundwork for his progression beyond the domestic scene.
Seeking further growth, he moved to Europe, where he continued his development across France and Italy.
In France, he spent time with Angers MFC and Saumur Olympique, gaining exposure to a more structured and tactical approach to the game.
His move to Italy proved particularly influential.
Playing for Licata Calcio and ASD Juvenilia Roseto, Aziz refined his overall game, improving his decision-making and maturity on the pitch.
His time in Italy is widely seen as a turning point in his development, helping transform him into a more complete forward.
Beyond club football, Aziz has also attracted attention at international level.
He has featured for Benin’s U23 side, the Cheetahs, during preparations for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.
His rise has not been immediate but rather the result of consistent effort across different environments.
From local football in Benin to competitive stints in Europe, Aziz has gradually built the experience needed to reach this milestone.
The move to Argentina now offers him an opportunity to establish himself in professional football and continue his upward trajectory.
