AJ Auxerre is planning to extend Clément Akpa's contract, which is currently set to expire in June 2026. Discussions regarding the contract extension have been ongoing for several weeks and are anticipated to conclude by the end of the month. The extension is considered a well-deserved reward for the 22-year-old player, recognized for his incisive and powerful interventions, and who has the potential to establish himself as a left central defender in a three-man defense in the coming months.
