Joel Asoro linked with Apol. Limassol move from FC Metz

Swedish-Nigerian right winger Joel Asoro is the subject of a transfer rumour linking him with a move from FC Metz to Apol. Limassol.

Asoro, 27, is currently with Metz, who are listed in Ligue 2, while Apol. Limassol play in the Cyprus League. The proposed switch would see the winger leave France for Cyprus shortly before the expiry of his current contract.

Asoro’s agreement with Metz is due to expire on 15 August 2026, meaning the timing of the reported interest could be significant. The rumour was recorded on 4 August, 11 days before that deadline.

The player is listed as a right winger and has dual Swedish and Nigerian nationality. He joined Metz’s current set-up after establishing his professional career in European football, but there is no further detail on when he moved to the French club or on the terms of any potential transfer to Cyprus.

The reported destination is Apol. Limassol, with the club identified as the interested party in the latest transfer information. No transfer fee, contract length or probability of the move has been specified.

For now, Asoro remains a Metz player, with his contract set to run until 15 August 2026.
