Fitsum Tilahun linked with Ethiopia Nigd move

Ethiopian left winger Fitsum Tilahun is being linked with a move from Kidus Giorgis to Ethiopia Nigd, with both clubs competing in the Premier League.

Tilahun, 25, is listed as a left winger and has a market value of €175,000. The transfer link is dated 4 August 2026 and concerns a move between two Ethiopian clubs in the same division.

The proposed destination would see Tilahun remain in the Ethiopian Premier League rather than move abroad. Ethiopia Nigd have been identified as the club interested in the player, while Kidus Giorgis are his current team.

Tilahun’s nationality and current club make the rumour an entirely domestic one, with the move potentially involving a change of employers within Ethiopia’s top flight. The available details do not indicate that an agreement has been completed, so the transfer remains at the rumour stage.

The winger’s listed valuation provides an indication of his standing in the market, although no transfer fee or probability has been attached to the link. There is also no confirmed information on the length of his current contract or on whether the clubs have entered formal negotiations.

For now, Tilahun remains a Kidus Giorgis player, with Ethiopia Nigd the club credited with an interest in securing his services.
