Sessi D'Almeida reported to join Aris Limassol in January

Azerbaijani journalist Fuad Alakbarov reports that 30-year-old midfielder Sessi D'Almeida is set to leave Neftchi Baku in the upcoming January transfer window to join Aris Limassol. While specific deal details remain undisclosed, reports suggest the transfer is effectively finalized. D'Almeida, a 50-time international, is currently under contract with the Azerbaijani club until May 2027.

Neftchi Baku originally acquired D'Almeida from Apollon Limassol in the summer of 2025 for a reported fee of 200,000 euros. Although he enjoyed a productive initial season with the club, his playing time has significantly diminished in recent months, leading to speculation regarding his departure. The move is expected to take place during the winter transfer window, though neither club has issued an official confirmation of the transfer status at this time.

In related news, Azerbaijani winger Ali Ibrahim is reportedly scheduled for a trial with Olympiacos, potentially joining their reserve side if successful. These developments highlight ongoing player movements involving clubs in the region as the mid-season window approaches.
