Jean Onana seals move to Aris Limassol after Beşiktaş exit

Following the formal termination of his contract with Beşiktaş, Cameroonian midfielder Jean Onana is poised to embark on a fresh chapter in his footballing career. The 22-year-old international, known for his dynamic presence on the pitch as a Lion Indomptable, is on the brink of joining Aris Limassol FC in Cyprus—a move that could reignite his momentum in European football.

Yet, competition for his signature remains fierce. Multiple clubs across Europe and beyond have been closely monitoring the situation, with Ligue 1 sides AS Saint-Étienne and Stade de Reims actively pursuing his services. Meanwhile, Saudi club Al Fateh SC has also expressed concrete interest, adding another layer of complexity to the negotiations.

The coming days will be pivotal in determining the next destination for the former Lens player, as clubs scramble to finalize terms before the transfer window closes.
