Djibril Sidibé sets off one-year agreement extension at Toulouse

Toulouse FC have actually validated that Djibril Sidibé (32) will stay at the club for the upcoming 2025/26 season after his one-year contract extension clause was officially triggered.The 2018 World Cup winner signed up with the Violets last summer on a complimentary transfer following a spell with AEK Athens. His preliminary 1 year deal included a conditional alternative for an extra year, which has now been activated after the protector made 26 Ligue 1 looks– exceeding the 20-match limit set out in the agreement.Sidibé’s future had actually been quickly cast into doubt due to administrative modifications at

the club. The departure of president Damien Comolli, who had actually worked out the original deal, delayed the activation of the stipulation. Nevertheless, with Neil Chugani actioning in as interim president, the club has actually honoured the arrangement, permitting the 32-year-old to continue in Haute-Garonne. According to L’Équipe, Sidibé had actually also reached a spoken agreement with Comolli for a potential extension through to the 2026/27 season. That understanding is now considered void, with the club’s new management supposedly mentioning the player’s age as a barrier to additional renewal.Despite fighting an Achilles tendon injury that kept him out early in the season, Sidibé developed himself as a trusted figure in a young TFC squad, primarily operating as the right-sided centre-back in a three-man defence.GFFN|George Boxall
