The former Monaco and France national team striker is close to joining Venezia. An official announcement of Wissam Ben Yedder's transfer is expected within the next 48 hours.
Details: According to Nicolò Schira, the 34-year-old forward will sign a contract until the end of the current season with the possibility of extending it for another year. In Venezia, Ben Yedder is expected to replace Joel Pohjanpalo, who has been the team's main goal scorer in recent years.
Reminder: Ben Yedder has been without a club since July 2024 after leaving Monaco. This long period without a team is linked to his personal issues. In November 2023, the player was sentenced to two years of probation for sexual assault while intoxicated.
Furthermore, he remains under investigation in another case of rape, with accusations made in the summer of 2023. The player was arrested at the time but was later released on bail of 900,000 euros.
