Arcus extends Angers contract; Placide faces expiry; Delcroix nears injury return

Carlens Arcus leads today's brief with confirmed contract news: the 29-year-old right-back has extended his deal with Angers SCO by a further season, keeping him at the Ligue 2 club through June 2027. Angers confirmed the extension via an official club announcement picked up by Yahoo Sports. Arcus, valued at €1.80m, has been one of the more consistent performers in Angers's backline and the deal cements his status as the squad's most settled Haitian international heading into the 2026–27 campaign.

Elsewhere, goalkeeper Johny Placide faces a contractual crossroads: his deal at SC Bastia expires 30 June 2026 — four days from today — making him a free agent imminently. The 38-year-old has been with the club since 2021 and no renewal has been publicly announced.

At FC Lugano, centre-back Hannes Delcroix has missed three consecutive matches with an undisclosed injury but Fox Sports reports he may be in line to return this Saturday. Lugano will be keen to have their €2.00m defender back in the Swiss Super League run-in.

Martin Expérience (AS Nancy) is also in contract territory, with his deal listed as expiring 30 June 2026 on Transfermarkt — no renewal confirmed.
