Russia-Cameroon centre-forward Marat Tarek is being linked with a move from Georgian side Kolkheti Poti to Indian club Samaleswari SC in what would be a notable cross-continent transfer for the 22-year-old.
The Erovnuli Liga 2 attacker is under contract with Kolkheti Poti until 31 December 2026, meaning any deal would require the Indian club to negotiate a transfer rather than wait for a free move. Early talks are understood to centre on bringing the striker to India ahead of the next campaign, with Samaleswari SC exploring options to strengthen their forward line.
Tarek, who operates through the middle as a centre-forward, has attracted attention for his performances in Georgia’s second tier, where Kolkheti Poti have used him as a key part of their attacking set-up. His dual nationality with Russia and Cameroon adds an additional layer of intrigue, with interest in how he might adapt to a new footballing environment in South Asia.
Kolkheti Poti face a decision over whether to cash in on a player still tied down for another two and a half years or hold firm and retain one of their main attacking options for their Erovnuli Liga 2 campaign. Samaleswari SC, meanwhile, are assessing whether to push ahead to reach an agreement that would see Tarek make the switch from Georgia to India while still under contract.
