Abdel Rachid Zagré is settling into Italian football! The talented Burkinabè striker, aged just 21, has signed a contract extension with Ravenna FC, a club recently promoted to Serie C, now set to keep him until June 2027. After joining Ravenna in January 2025 following stints in Turkey and Switzerland, Zagré quickly impressed with his pace and physical presence.
Zagré’s journey began in Burkina Faso, where he rose to prominence at Rail Club du Kadiogo before moving to FC Sion in Switzerland. Known for his athleticism and keen attacking instincts, he’s viewed at Ravenna as a core player for the challenges ahead in Italy’s third division. The club’s management is banking on his youthful energy and skill to make a difference this season and beyond.
During the 2024-2025 season, Zagré has already shown his ability to influence matches, disrupting defenses and contributing to the team’s offensive play. Under the guidance of head coach Marco Marchionni, Zagré is expected to play a key role in helping Ravenna secure safety in Serie C and perhaps aim for even greater success.
For Zagré, the new contract marks a significant step in his European journey. Back home in Burkina Faso, his progress is inspiring young footballers dreaming of an international career. Ravenna fans eagerly look forward to what their young No.9 can achieve, hoping he will write a new chapter in the club’s history by 2027.
