Jean-Charles Castelletto

Jean-Charles Castelletto was expected to sign with Emirati club Al-Jazira in the coming days. But Al-Duhail, the Qatari side, has reportedly made a late bid to try to convince the FC Nantes defender to change his destination.

Jean-Charles Castelletto now finds himself at the heart of an unexpected twist. After reaching a verbal agreement with Al-Jazira, a club from the United Arab Emirates, the Cameroonian defender from FC Nantes was set to undergo his medical this Wednesday, July 16, to finalize his permanent transfer.

But against all odds, Al-Duhail, a prestigious club in the Qatari league, has entered the Castelletto saga in recent hours. "Indeed, the Qatar Stars League outfit is offering better financial terms to the Clamart-born player, even though he may not be seen as an automatic starter in the team (...)," reports Footmercato.

With Al-Duhail entering the fray with an attractive financial offer, Jean-Charles Castelletto may reconsider his stance. The suspense is at its peak. Will the Cameroonian join Al-Jazira as planned, or will he head to Qatar instead? Stay tuned…
