Cádiz bolster midfield with Aimen Moueffek loan deal

Cádiz have announced the arrival of Aimen Moueffek, the Francomoroccan midfielder, on loan from Saint-Étienne until the end of the season, as the club looks to strengthen its “engine room” in midfield.

A midfield boost

Moueffek is 25, born in France, and is a Morocco Under-23 international. Since 2020, he has been part of Saint-Étienne’s first team. Across three seasons, he has played 55 Ligue 1 matches for the French club, with the rest of his appearances coming in the country’s second tier.

In his three Ligue 1 campaigns (2020-21, 2021-22 and 2024-25), he started 23 games, although he played the full 90 minutes on only five occasions—something that underlines his value as a tactical option in the middle of the pitch.

More options for Celades

With Moueffek’s arrival, Albert Celades’ Cádiz add another midfield option following an early LaLiga Hypermotion run where, as Mundo Deportivo reports, other signings have already been used there: Damián Rodríguez (Celta), Jandro Orellana (Estoril) and Romy Kouamé, who is no longer at the club.

The immediate challenge now is to turn this midfield reinforcement into consistency in results for the rest of the season.
