Since September 2020, ESTAC de Troyes has been owned by the City Football Group, leaving room for a collaboration between the French club and Manchester City. This cooperation will once again be put to use with the loan of young French striker Alexis Tibidi (20 years old). The player was on loan this season at NEC Nijmegen (Netherlands), but with no minutes of play played, the two clubs preferred to cancel the loan. The Trojan will therefore leave for England with the idea of playing with the Manchester City U23s during these six months and sometimes the opportunity to train with the professionals.
A great hope in French football, his former club criticized him in particular for a lack of investment. He will be in Manchester very well supervised. The player trained in Toulouse, then spent by Stuttgart (2021-2023), is now looking for regularity. This season, he only played three small matches with ESTAC. He is under contract until 2027 with the French club and the City Group.
